Dinner Will Fund Scholarships

The Futures in Education Annual Scholarship Fund Dinner will be held on Monday, Oct. 24, at the Waldorf Astoria New York in Manhattan.

The gala will honor Gina Argento, president of Broadway Stages; Guy Chiarello, president of First Data Corporation; and Peter Ward, president of the New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council, AFL-CIO.

Rosanna Scotto, co-host of Good Day New York, will serve as this year’s emcee.

Proceeds from the dinner benefit families in financial need by allowing them to send their children to a Catholic grammar school or academy of their choice in Brooklyn or Queens.

Last year, the organization granted over $7 million in scholarships to nearly 5,000 families. Since its inception, Futures in Education has awarded $80 million to over 25,000 students.
