The American Cancer Society‘s 17th Annual Mothers of the Year Awards Luncheon, to be held on Thursday, March 1st at The Plaza Hotel, gathers New York City’s high-profile, social and corporate women. This years luncheon will celebrate the achievements of Grace Hightower De Niro, Dr. Diane Reidy-Lagunes and Dr. Emily Sonnenblick as they are honored as Mothers of the Year 2012. Leading the charge is a team of equally notable women who have agreed to serve as Benefit Co-Chairs Muffie Potter Aston, Somers Farkas, Diana Feldman, Prudence Solomon Inzerillo, Cynthia Lufkin, Gianna Palminteri, Maureen Reidy, and Rachel Roy. This lively event is an opportunity to raise funds and awareness for the important work of the ACS. Proceeds will directly benefit the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving and life-enhancing programs in cancer research, patient services, advocacy, and educational campaigns. For tickets and information, please call 212.237.3832. For what to wear to a charity luncheon, we took our cue from the bright shades of the invitation to go shopping at Bergdorf Goodman for this chic and timely Gaultier. Now is the time to invest in some new neutrals like the Jimmy Choo Platform Pumps and Rachel Zoe tote. For more selections for luncheon dressing, please visit Daywear and Luncheon.
