WHAT: Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy’s 11th annual Brooklyn Black Tie Ball took place on October 9 . This year honored four remarkable Park champions who came together to realize a long awaited dream of an expansive Park on the Brooklyn waterfront: Daniel L. Doctoroff, Founder and Chairman of Target ALS; Regina Myer, President of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership; Nanette Smith, Bloomberg LP; and Brooklyn Bridge Park Landscape Architects Michael Van Valkenburgh and MVVA. Brooklyn Bridge Park would literally not be here without their leadership.
Supporters of the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball are the champions of the Conservancy’s commitment to providing free access to its vibrant array of cultural offerings, invigorating fitness endeavors, and enriching educational experiences for all New Yorkers. This year, the Ball raised a record $1.75M.

The incredible support of everyone in attendance ensures that our 2025 season will be filled with vibrant, free, and accessible cultural events, engaging environmental education, and dynamic fitness and recreation opportunities for all New Yorkers to enjoy.” – Nancy Webster, Executive Director, Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy
