More about this event:
Our annual gala, An Evening of Practical Magic, raised $2 million in support of City Harvest's work. The event, held at Cipriani 42nd Street, was City Harvest's most successful fundraiser in our 30-plus year history.
The event honored chef Marc Murphy for his ongoing commitment to feeding hungry New Yorkers. The highlight of the evening was the live auction, which raised over $800,000. A private dinner with chefs Marc Murphy and Chris Santos sold for $46,000, and Grammy Award winner John Legend donated a private concert in a lucky bidder's home which sold for $110,000! Chef Eric Ripert wowed the audience during the grand finale when he called actor Richard Gere to the stage, and added him as a guest for a private dinner for 20 prepared in the winner's home. The bidding was fierce, and two bidders agreed to pay $220,000 each for the experience, for a total of $440,000! Guests also bid on other once-in-a-lifetime culinary experiences and exciting travel packages.
