NEW YORK (September 13, 2010) – More than 300 people will be in attendance at The Icla da Silva Foundation’s 18th Annual Fundraising Dinner & Dance on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 at Loeb Boathouse in Central Park, New York City. This year’s honorees include transplant recipient Jennifer Jones Austin, and bone marrow advocate Milton Schwartz . The evening’s program will be hosted by Rib Hillis, television cast member of ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover. Guests will be treated to a festive atmosphere with live music, celebrities, gondola rides, dinner and dancing within the scenic and beautiful Central Park.
