"We're very delighted to honor Ba and Jim Edwards who have been wonderful friends and supporters of the Center," said Ruth Ann McSpadden.

"The most important thing about the party is the people," says Jack. "It's not the food."

"It has been my honor to dedicate our home, for this event, and a portion of proceeds from my new magazine, GALERIE, to assist the amazingly resilient youth of Hetrick-Martin, as well as the exciting outreach work they are doing to share HMI's mission with the world," explained Lisa Cohen.

"It's like Vegas to me," said Aida Turturro — arguably the biggest single spender at the event.

"I'm always trying to stay a step ahead," Rick Friedman told Hamptons.com. "It's not fun following people."
