| There were so many great events last month that we didn’t have time to cover them all (we’re still working on that cloning device). Among them: the New York Building Foundation’s 2010 Theatre Benefit, which raised nearly $120k for research, educational, and charity. Above, Salvadori Center president Dr. Leonisa Ardizzone, Thornton Tomasetti’s Richard Tomasetti, and Port Authority’s Frank Lombardi. This year’s benefit began at Sardi’s Restaurant and featured performances of Lombardi, Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, and certificates were presented to six organizations that contributed to theConstruction for a Livable City initiative: Bovis Lend Lease, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Columbia University Facilities, F.J. Sciame Construction Co, Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center; and Skanska USA. |
