Spence-Chapin Services to Families & Children Honors David A. Barrett at Annual Gala

On May 4, 2017, Spence-Chapin will hold its Annual Gala at Current, an event space at Chelsea Piers. Support for Spence-Chapin’s Annual Gala furthers its mission and enables greater impact within the adoption community. With the support of the community at the Annual Gala, Spence-Chapin continues to focus on the guiding principle that every child deserves a family. 

The Annual Gala will honor David A. Barrett, a partner at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP. David served on the Spence-Chapin Board from 2000-2016, including as vice-chair and head of the Legal Committee. He and his wife, Didi, adopted Annabel from Russia in 1992. Spence-Chapin is so grateful to David for his unwavering support, sixteen years of dedicated service on the Board of Directors, and his loyalty to the organization and the entire adoption community. Spence-Chapin would like to thank Supporting Sponsor, Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, for sustaining Spence-Chapin’s mission by helping to make this event possible. 

The event will feature charity auctioneer CK Swett, who is returning to Spence-Chapin’s Gala for his second consecutive year. 

Spence-Chapin is proud that Dave Price from NBC 4 New York will serve as our Master of Ceremonies. Dave serves as weather anchor for NBC 4 New York’s 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM newscasts, and is a key member of Storm Team 4, the area’s most trusted weather team, keeping viewers in the Tri-State area informed by providing the latest weather information in real-time with the most advanced weather technology in the Northeast. One of the best known weathercasters in the Tri-State area, Price is well known for his passion for the military and visits military bases around the world during the holiday season where he puts on comedy shows for our service men and women. 

Spence-Chapin is a licensed and accredited nonprofit organization that has been offering quality adoption services for more than 100 years. Spence-Chapin’s mission is to help find loving families for children whatever their needs or circumstances, and provide counseling and support for all children and the families to whom they have been born or entrusted.
