My Work
There are a number of causes and organizations near and dear to my heart, and I’m proud to have helped many grow. As my friends know, I am a tireless fundraiser when I’m committed to a cause.
One of my favorite organizations is The Walter Hoving Home in Garrison NY. They provide women who suffer from addiction with hope for recovery. I rebuilt a dormitory on the property, which now provides 16 additional beds, a laundry facility, and gathering space.

This was one of my favorite events! This photo is from the Cardinal’s 2013 Christmas luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.
I was that year’s “Christmas Angel” and I believe I still hold the record for money raised for Catholic Charities at that event: $1.6 million dollars.
