In a statement from the American Cancer Society: "The ballet, theater and art world merged last night in support of Dance Against Cancer, an event which brought together top dance companies from New York City and beyond for a night of beautiful performances, world premiere solos and great company."

"Erin Fogarty and Daniel Ulbricht spearheaded this amazing effort each Spring in New York City, and members of the cast of An American in Paris, Chris Wheeldon, Leanne Cope, Robbie Fairchild and Brandon Uranowitz generously donated their time to mingle with VIP auction winners. Our hostess of the evening, Adriana Friedman of the DeLorenzo Gallery, welcomed them into her beautiful townhouse while Dance Against Cancer committee member Lynne Goldberg orchestrated this beautiful evening to help kick off our 2016 Dance Against Cancer Season and raise funds for The American Cancer Society."
