A party to remember
Friends of the Highline threw its 7th Annual Summer Benefit at the IAC building last Wednesday evening. The gala, which included cocktails, dinner, an auction, and an after-dinner dance party that lasted into the early morning, netted FHL more than $2 million, which will help finance the groups operations and programming.
