Prince George Ballroom | 15 East 27th Street, New York, NY

A Chance In Life is proud of our longstanding relationship with the wine & spirits industry, which has generously supported our programming through the annual Wine & Spirits International Dinner for many years. In addition, we are honored to recognize our partners in the restaurant and hospitality industries, who not only are generous supporters of the mission of A Chance In Life, but work hand in hand with the wine & spirits industry as well.

​This annual event is a wonderful opportunity to bring together friends and business associates for a night of celebration and networking as we recognize longstanding partners and forge new relationships. Attendees will enjoy a cocktail reception and seated dinner, during which we recognize some of industry’s leaders in business and philanthropy.

This year’s event recognized longtime supporters of A Chance In Life (and previously, Boys’ Towns of Italy): Tony May, in loving memory, and his daughter Marisa May, for their legacy of setting the standard for luxury Italian fine dining in the United States; and Herman Hochberg, for his many decades of service and leadership to the organization and the wine & spirits industry, and for bringing the two together through this event.
