Chairs Lisamaria and Philip Falcone, Kathy and Tom Freston, Lorne Michaels, Jodie and John Eastman, and Laura and Robert Sillerman led an evening of cocktails and dinner in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda followed by a live auction, dancing, and performance by the rocker in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.
