the 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth, melding Italian race-car
performance with brilliant design. The dramatic arrival of
the “small but wicked” car during dinner will be followed by
fierce bidding, as potential buyers vie for the opportunity
to own one of the world’s most unique and innovative
vehicles. The evening is chaired by Philip L. Yang, Joan P.
Young, Chris LaSusa, and Elia Zois and the benefit committee
is chaired by Fe Fendi and Mariana Zois. The media sponsor
is New York magazine.
Proceeds from the Gala will support East Side
House Settlement’s highly successful college preparation
programs, which are crucial in promoting education and
employment for the residents of the South Bronx and
surrounding communities. A staff of approximately 300 full
and part-time teachers, social workers and other experts
serve approximately 8,000 residents in 17 different
locations annually.
The event is made possible through the generosity of the
Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association and the New
York International Auto Show, as part of a proud tradition
of dedicated community service.
