adults to help raise funds for children’s programs at the Lenox
Hill Neighborhood House, the oldest social service agency on the

enticing store, Dylan’s Candy Bar on the Upper East Side, owned by
Ralph Lauren’s daughter, Dylan Lauren.
Among
those who attended were Grace Hightower with her son Elliott
DeNiro, Alexandra von Furstenberg, Sloan Lindemann Barnett,
Lauren Dupont, Ginny Bond Donahue, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Cynthia
Lufkin, Erin Lazard, Aimee Nicklaus and Irina Woelfle.

the children’s faces. The children went on to decorate cookies,
listen to story-telling and play games. Mini-hamburgers, hot dogs
and, of course, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were served by
Serafina.
