We deeply appreciate your dedication to this iconic institution. The Garden carries out all of its diverse endeavors through the ongoing commitment of many. We thank individual donors, corporations, foundations, and government agencies for supporting NYBG’s local, national, and international programs. Tonight we are pleased to recognize Alexandra Lebenthal, Gillian Miniter, Deborah Goodrich Royce, and Catherine Marlette Waddell, Gala Chairmen for the Conservatory Ball, for their tireless and inspired efforts on this premier NYBG fundraising event. Because our collective responsibilities to our children and our planet have never been greater, we hope you will consider an additional gift to the Garden before the close of our fiscal year on June 30. Your support now helps us forge ahead to continue fulfilling the unique role that people in New York City and around the world depend on us to carry out for the next generation and beyond. Please visit nybg.org/donate for more information. Thank you so much! Maureen K. Chilton Gregory Long Chairman Chief Executive Officer The William C.
