PENCIL's Spring Gala

Education nonprofit PENCIL held its Spring Gala on Wednesday, May 12 at Cipriani Wall Street to celebrate outstanding partnerships between New York City private sector leaders, corporations and public school principals.

The event attracted more than 700 supporters and raised more than $1.5 million for PENCIL.

The event dinner chair was Frank J. Bisignano, Chief Administrative Officer, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and PENCIL Board Member; and co-chairs included Dave Barger, President and Chief Executive Officer, JetBlue Airways; Lisa Belzberg, PENCIL Founder and Board Chair; Nancy Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, CA.; Katie Couric, Anchor & Managing Editor, CBS Evening News and Correspondent, 60 Minutes; and Evgeny A. Freidman, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, Taxi Club Management Inc.

“PENCIL’s supporters form an invaluable network that provides our public school students with the vital resources they need to realize their potential, compete in a global economy, and fulfill their dreams,” said New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.

Since 1995, PENCIL has been leading the effort to improve public education by engaging New York City’s private sector in innovative, impact-driven partnerships with principals at schools throughout the five boroughs.
