Central Park Conservancy’s autumn gala raises $1 million

Fall foliage made a stunning backdrop for the annual Central Park Conservancy Autumn in Central Park gala Wednesday night, where hundreds of supporters came out for a night of dinner and dancing under a tent at the Naumburg Bandshell.

Guests could see the colorful fall leaves through the transparent ceiling from their dinner seats.

ABC News’ Deborah Roberts gathered a table of female friends for the event and hit the dance floor after dinner, joining co-hosts Gillian and Sylvester Miniter and Sharon Jacob, along with Fe and Alessandro Fendi, Elyse Newhouse, Lise Evans and her husband, former Goldman Sachs exec J. Michael Evans.

The event raised $1.1 million.
