Katie Couric with daughter Ellie Monahan
 

The young and privileged basked in the fruits of their labor at the second annual Teen Effort Party, and raised $100,000 for the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center.

Charity events and fundraisers are usually left to the adults, but these mini-moguls are carrying the torch of their prominent parents. Event masterminds Harry Sitomer, Elizabeth Sacks, Rachele Trentalancia,
Samantha Perelman (Ron Perelman’s daughter), Zoe Norman (daughter of former MTV Networks president Christina Norman), Ellie Monahan (Katie Couric’s daughter), and Ali Lebow (daughter of Deputy Mayor Patricia
Harris) were among those in the mix.

Guests arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel dressed to the nines. They dined and boogied the night away with R&B crooner Kat DeLuna, who brought down the house with her sizzling performance. Ellie Monahan used her star power to raffle off a private tour of CBS thanks to her famous mom. Lucky winners also walked away with designer handbags, Yankees tickets, Henri Bendel gift certificates, and more.

These devoted teens are not afraid to roll up their designer sleeves and put in some hard work for a good cause.
