Yesterday, Town & Country hosted its 12th annual Philanthropy Summit at Hearst Tower — a powerful gathering dedicated to honoring generosity, service, and the changemakers building a brighter future.
Â
Under the theme “The Time Is Now: When Crisis Becomes a Call to Action,” the day brought together an inspiring lineup of voices, including Broadway stars Renee Elise Goldsberry, Jonathan Groff, Celia Keenan-Bolger, John Leguizamo and Brian Stokes Mitchell; Sherrie Westin, President & CEO of Sesame Workshop (with a very special appearance by Elmo 👋❤️); plus Avery Colvert, the teen who mobilized relief across her community during the L.A. fires and her mother and co-founder Lauren Sandidge, and more.Â
Â
Town & Country has championed philanthropy for more than a century — and, each year, this summit spotlights the people, institutions and ideas shaping impact work around the world.
