LOVE! VALOR! COMPASSION!
ninth annual Woman of Valor Awards Tea
What an amazing turnout for one of NYC real estate’s most beloved charities. We snapped this of the 1,000 attendees last week at the Waldorf Astoria, where Mann Publications hosted the ninth annual Women of Valor Awards Tea. Proceeds benefit St. Francis Food Pantries & Shelters, an org run by the Capuchin Franciscan Friars that supports a network of 25 charitable programs providing food, clothing, shelter, counseling, and services for the poor in the five boroughs, Long Island, and New Jersey.
St. Francis Food Pantries & Shelters exec director Joseph Sano; 2011 honorary chair and keynote speaker Veronica Kelly, director of special projects for The Bowery Mission; St. Francis’ Father Francis Gasparik; Prudential Douglas Elliman retail chairman Faith Hope Consolo (one of the first Women of Valor honorees); and NYPD commish Ray Kelly

And receiving the Humanitarian Award were JLL SVP Laini Marie Rey and Tishman Speyer director Pia Silvestri.

The economic uncertainty and unemployment has placed additional burden on St. Francis, and the number of clients it serves each week has increased—currently, it serves over a million meals per year.
