Record-breaking Gala for The New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute
Event:
On February 26th, The New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute’s Centennial Gala hosted 370 guests and raised over $360,000 to celebrate 100 years of service as the nation’s oldest psychoanalytic organization in the Americas and its influence on the cultural and intellectual life of New York City.
The Centennial Gala was the best-attended and most-profitable gala in recent memory thanks to the tireless efforts of the Gala Co-Chairs Themis Dimon, Maxine Gann and Carla Solomon.
Funds raised from the Gala will support the ongoing mission of The New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (NYPSI) which is to provide the highest level of psychoanalytic training to mental health professionals, promote excellence in psychoanalytic research and offer a range of educational, advisory and affordable therapeutic service programs to the New York community.
The Centennial Gala also served as the official kick-off for the NYPSI Second Century Campaign which will focus on raising $1,000,000 for expanding its child and adolescent therapy programs, in-school clinical services, community outreach, and facilities upgrades.
In honor of the Society’s Centenary, the Office of the Mayor, City of New York issued a proclamation for “The 100th Anniversary celebration of the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute” in recognition of the organization’s founding on February 12, 1911 and as a testament to the courageous and important work psychoanalysts do on a daily basis and to the vital services offered to all New Yorkers.
