The ABNY Foundation created the Spirit of ABNY Awards in 2007 to raise funds while honoring select New Yorkers who have provided a distinguished level of service to our great city.
In addition, the Foundation recognizes the civic achievements of one individual each year by presenting them with the Lew Rudin Founder’s Award, in memory of ABNY’s first chairman.
The ABNY Foundation’s Spirit of ABNY Awards funds social, educational, and civic initiatives that enhance the quality of life in the five boroughs of New York City.
Spirit of ABNY Awards 2023
May 15, 2023 The Rainbow Room, 30 Rockefeller Plaza
It was so wonderful to celebrate the 2023 Spirit of ABNY Awards last night with our honorees, guest speakers, members, and friends. We were able to honor three incredible leaders who embody the Spirit of ABNY and the Spirit of New York: Albert Bourla, Chairman & CEO of Pfizer; Speaker Adrienne Adams, Speaker of the New York City Council; and Frances Resheske, ABNY Board Member and former Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Con Edison.
It was a successful night and the proceeds raised will go toward the various activities and causes of The ABNY Foundation that support social, educational, and civic initiatives to enhance the quality of life in the five boroughs of New York City.
Thank you to everyone who attended and for the continued support of ABNY and The ABNY Foundation!
