Northern Westchester Hospital's Grand Prix Ball at Grand Prix New York.
|
More than 800 guests turned out for the Grand Prix Ball, an elegant “40's Glam in Black and White” evening of indoor car racing, dancing and dining to benefit Northern Westchester Hospital (NWH) in Mt. Kisco, NY. The event honored Dr. Martin Saltzman, chief of Medicine, and Frank Brosens, NWH Foundation trustee and former chair of the Board of Trustees, for their years of dedication and service. The Gala, which raised $1.6 million, was held on Saturday, March 8 at the new Grand Prix New York in Mount Kisco, and proceeds will benefit NWH's state-of-the-art surgical services, including its new robotics program.
The event kicked off in the afternoon with 36 amateur racers competing at the Grand Prix track. The 16 finalists, cheered on by the “forties glam” attired spectators, raced in the evening competing for first prize- use of a luxury sports car from Velocity of Greenwich, Conn. for a long weekend. Mike Bennett, morning personality at WHUD radio, announced the winners. Christopher Gaydos garnered first prize, Mark Hess won a second prize medal; and Tommy Brosens, son of event honoree Frank Brosens, won third place and was presented with the bronze medal.
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, honorary chair of the gala, served as emcee for the sold-out event. Interior design was created by Tangram International Exhibitions, which is owned by Bedford residents Steel and Tricia Swift. Bedford Corners resident Jon Kamen, CEO of @Radical Media produced and donated the video presentation on honoree Frank Brosens. Dinner was catered by Sonnier & Castle, New York. The Deanna Jones Orchestra provided music for the evening.
