This year’s honorees were writer and activist Gloria Steinem, Olympic Ice Skating Champion Evan Lysacek, and Feld Entertainment’s Nicole, Alana, and Juliette Feld. While there was no ice skating this year, guests were treated to a performance by Dancing with the Stars’ Mirror Ball Champions Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

The proceeds from this year’s gala will help launch a new STEM program and implement a plan for expansion beyond New York.
