Held at New York’s Cipriani 42nd Street, the gala black-tie event drew members of the design community from across the nation to help raise funds that support after-school enrichment programs for more than 12,000 young people across the Bronx. Druckman’s extraordinary contributions and philanthropic leadership were recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award presented by design legend and honorary chair Bunny Williams. In his acceptance speech, following a standing ovation from the crowd, he thanked his predecessors and the design community for their collective contributions to the program’s success.
