About American Museum of Natural History and The Winter Dance:

The Winter Dance has been an essential component of AMNH fundraising efforts for almost four decades. Dating back to the 1970's, the Winter Dance has a glorious history as the longest running junior benefit in New York City, and provides a unique opportunity to gather individuals ages 39 and younger in a social setting, while raising money for Museum programs. Today, this event enjoys significant name recognition and a loyal audience of supporters comprised of trend-savvy New Yorkers from the arts, entertainment, fashion, and business professions -- people that are sure to intersect with your own target audience.

The Winter Dance is a thematic black-tie evening set in several of the Museum's spectacular halls. Two hundred guests begin their evening with an exclusive and intimate dinner, and then join an additional 500 revelers for dessert, dancing, and a luxury silent auction. The Winter Dance 2007 will celebrate our Gold exhibition and will take place in halls decided upon between the Museum and our sponsor. Winter Dance 2007 Co-Chairs included Claire Bernard, Zani Gugelmann, Amanda Hearst, Tinsley Mortimer, Jacqueline Sackler, and Ivanka Trump.
