The premier fundraising event for Futures in Education is set for Monday, Oct. 24, at the Waldorf Astoria. Gina Argento, president of Broadway Stages; Guy Chiarello, president of First Data Corporation, and Peter Ward, president of the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council, AFL-CIO, will be honored for their efforts and dedication to bettering the lives of children in Brooklyn and Queens.

Proceeds from this annual event 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.
