Each year The New York Public Library hosts a festive Corporate Dinner in honor of a business leader who has made a difference to the Library and our community at large. This high-profile fundraising event is initiated to support the Library’s collections and services. In just a short period of time, and with an impressive list of corporate honorees, the event has created a cachet all its own.

This year, on Thursday, June 26th, we will be honoring James B. Lee, Jr., the Vice Chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co., for his outstanding civic, business, and philanthropic leadership, and especially for his wholehearted support of the Library's mission of providing free, world-class resources and services to the public.

As one of New York's most glittering occasions, the Dinner in the elegant Celeste Bartos Forum is limited to 450 guests.  Cocktails will begin in Astor Hall at 6:30 p.m, followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m. Dress is business attire.
