On May 6, 2010, 226 guests, including Pauletta Washington and Star Jones, attended the New-York Historical Society’s (N-YHS) annual Strawberry Festival luncheon. Setting a new record for this event, more than $230,000 was raised, which will benefit the programs of the Historical Society, including major exhibitions and educational programs on American history. In addition, ten percent of proceeds from jewelry sold at an exclusive Verdura trunk show featuring the stunning 70th anniversary collection, will also benefit N-YHS.
Kimberly B. Davis, President of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, who oversees the firm's global philanthropic giving, employee volunteerism and strategic corporate programs, was the honoree at the event celebrating women in philanthropy. Ms. Davis is a graduate and trustee of Spelman College.
In a keynote address, Spelman College president Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum celebrated the women in philanthropy who are changing the world every day through their generosity.
