Lit-up bright green snowflakes heralded New York’s winter party season at the annual Promise Ball in the Waldorf’s Grand Ballroom. Mary Tyler Moore, Chuck Scarborough, Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates, and honoree Stephen Ross danced the night away to a hot band and special performance by Ray Charles. International chair Mary Tyler Moore had the audience in stitches with her jokes, and the live auction featured a Boston terrier pup—which went for $3,250! A now world-famed photo of firefighters at Ground Zero sold for $13,000! The Promise Ball, which benefits the New York Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, fetched nearly $3 mil for the promising cause.
