A Benefit for Light Industry
Renwick Street, New York
Light Industry and Hilton Als invite you to a benefit at the home of Zeena Parkins and Jeff Preiss.
SOLD OUT
Light Industry’s having a party, and we’d love for you to join us. As with past fundraisers, we’ve here decided to forego the usual trappings of the gala benefit—no speeches, no honorees, just great company, a lovely setting, and a well-stocked bar. Athena Kokoronis, the chef who oversaw our Les Blank and Parker Tyler dinners, will once again be running the show. On offer will be cocktails and hors d'oeuvres drawn from the eateries of old Hollywood—an oyster bar featuring the cocktail sauce from The Coconut Grove, the pumpernickel toast from Scandia, a variation on the Brown Derby’s Cobb salad, very cold martinis.
So buy a ticket, stop in, have a drink. You’ll be supporting the art of cinema but also something more glamorous still: our new HVAC system.
