The Twelfth Annual Winter Wonderland Ball at The New York Botanical Garden was celebrated on Friday, December 10, 2010. The evening’s Chairmen of the Ball hosted 350 guests at the holiday party of the season. The Chairmen were Jennifer Creel, Cristina Cuomo, Emma J.P. Goergen, Alex Kramer, Alexandra Lebenthal, Christian Leone, Alexandra Lind Rose, Molly Sims, and Kerry Washington. The Junior Chairmen were Byrdie Bell, Martin Dawson, Dalia Oberlander, Lauren Remington Platt, and Gillian Hearst Simonds. The Founding Chairmen were Sloan Barnett, Whitney Fairchild, Pauline Joerger, and Nathalie Kaplan.
Fendi and Saks Fifth Avenue were the Co-Fashion Sponsors of the Ball. Additional support was provided by InStyle.
The Winter Wonderland Ball took place in the magnificent Enid A. Haupt Conservatory—the Garden’s Victorian-style crystal palace—presenting an internationally acclaimed display of magnificent model trains winding through a sprawling landscape featuring replicas of iconic New York landmarks. The evening began with cocktails under the Palm Dome in the grand rotunda, with dinner and dancing in an adjacent beautifully designed tent. This event supports the Garden’s Children’s Education program, allowing children of all ages, particularly underserved children in the Bronx, an opportunity to learn about nature in engaging ways through workshops and hands-on activities.
