The Kosciuszko Foundation will host the Annual Dinner

Since 1933 the KF
Ball has been the premier social event in the
10 million strong Polish American Community,
and the most important fundraiser supporting Foundation’s mission.
The
First Lady of Poland,
Mrs. Anna Komorowska is this year’s Honorary Chairwoman,
while Mrs. Christine Kuskowski and Dr. Mary Kay Pieski
are Chairwomen of the Ball.
We will honor:
Mr. Juliusz Machulski, one of Poland’s best-known movie
directors;
Mrs. Wanda Senko, long-time Polonia activist;
Mr. Sigmund Rolat, Holocaust survivor who has built
bridges of reconciliation
between Poles and Jews;
and Dr. Zbigniew Darzynkiewicz, Director of the Brander
Cancer Research Institute
at the New York Medical College
and spiritus movens of the Kosciuszko Foundation’s
Collegium of
Eminent Scientists of Polish Origin and Ancestry.
Founded in 1925,
the Kosciuszko Foundation promotes closer ties between
Poland
and the United States through educational, scientific and cultural
exchanges.
It awards up to $1 million annually in fellowships and grants to graduate
students, scholars, scientists, professionals, and
artists, and promotes Polish culture in America.
