On Saturday, September 23, 2017, Park Avenue Club was proud to host the 23rd

Anniversary Cocktail Gala in honor of the Park Avenue Foundation.

Our members were treated to a strolling cocktail party featuring some of Chef

Arnold’s delicious and creative fare. Musical entertainment included live piano

featuring Matthew Friedman, “The Piano Man” in Billy Joel’s award-winning musical,

MOVIN’ OUT, as well as the Neue Stringz Quartet playing contemporary covers.

The evening was found to be incredibly successful thanks to our generous donors,

sponsors, attendees and committee members. We are proud to share the silent

auction and “Text to Pledge” was equally as successful, directly benefiting the Park

Avenue Foundation. The night was highlighted with the presentation of the David

Van H. Hedley “Spirit of Giving” award to this year’s recipient, Paul A. Boudreau, Presi-

dent of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce. Afterwards, guests were treated

to a high end cigar bar outside on Charity’s Patio while enjoying fine wines, cordials

and serenaded by a live guitarist.

Thank you again to all of our sponsors, donors, attendees and committee members.

Your generosity truly embodies “The Spirit of Giving” that inspired the creation of

Park Avenue Club and the Park Avenue Foundation 23 years ago.
