Center Dinner 2009

Center Dinner

Tickets are no longer available for the Center Dinner. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

The Center Dinner was created as an antidote to tedious gala dinners and this year will be no exception! On Wednesday, March 25, 2009, We are honored to welcome Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Speaker Christine C. Quinn as our special guests. We are also thrilled to welcome TV's "Ugly Betty" star, Michael Urie as our host and master of ceremonies. And we are ecstatic to feature Matt Alber as our special musical guest. You probably have already seen the video for his stunning and heartfelt single, "End of the World," but wait until you hear and see it live. The evening will also include a tribute to Richard Burns for his 22 years of service as executive director of the Center.

Last year, the Center Dinner raised more than half a million dollars and with your help we hope to continue this amazing accomplishment!
