On Thursday, October 21, 2010, The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) will host the 22^nd Annual Preview Party for The International Fine Art and Antique Dealers Show. Held at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, the show is a must for collectors, connoisseurs, museum curators and interior designers the world over. Over 1,000 guests attend The Society’s glamorous Preview Party, which is sponsored by Giorgio Armani and 1stdibs.com, with additional support from ELLE DÉCOR. This glittering evening is co-chaired by Melinda Blinken, Libby Fitzgerald (We love love love Greyledge Farm see Peachy's Pantry), Lisa McCarthy, Daisy Soros, and Michel Cox Witmer. The Associates Collector Chairmen are Kate Allen, Claudia Overstrom, and Elizabeth Pyne.

A tradition since 1989, The Society’s annual Preview Party opens Brian and Anna Haughton’s flagship fair, and helps raise important funds for The Society’s patient care, research and education programs at MSKCC. The International Show is world-famous for its sumptuous, stylish décor, its extraordinary variety and its museum-quality offerings, which are rigorously vetted by teams of specialists. The Preview Party offers The Society’s members, New York’s notable art and antique dealers and collectors, and leaders in fashion and design, a private preview of the fair’s sensational showcase before it opens to the public the following day.

“We are delighted to return to the Armory once again for The Society’s Preview Party of the International Fine Art and Antique Dealers Show. It’s an incredible evening when the art, antique, and philanthropy worlds converge in support of The Society and its mission to fund patient care and research programs at MSKCC,” said Heather Leeds, President of The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. “This special evening would not possible without the generous support from our sponsors and our long-lasting partnership with the Haughton’s,” added Leeds.

Joining the high-profile crowd in support of The Society is the evening’s prestigious Decorator Committee, including: Joel Allen, Geoffrey Bradfield, Ernest de la Torre, Sallie Giordano, Joanne de Guardiola, Albert Hadley, Lisa Jackson, Noel Jeffrey, Celerie Kemble, Hermes Mallea and Carey Maloney, Alex Papachristidis, Campion Platt, Ann Pyne, Elizabeth Pyne, John Robshaw, Todd Alexander Romano, David Scott, Marshall Watson, among many others.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center,” said Anna & Brian Haughton of Haughton International Fairs. “The preview party is a wonderful occasion to salute this great organization and its dedicated volunteers who work year-round to fundraise and improve patient care at the Center,” she added.

Prior to the Preview Party, Giorgio Armani will host a private kick-off party for members of The Society of MSKCC on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 from 6:30 – 8:30pm at the Giorgio Armani boutique on Madison Avenue.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
