Late summer brings one of the year’s most poignant evenings, a celebration of the work done by Christopher and Dana Reeve. Though the cause—finding a cure for spinal-cord injuries and paralysis—is serious, there’s still room for celebration, with music by society DJ Harley Viera-Newton and guests including super-stylist Mary Alice Stephenson and married actors Odette and Dave Annable (she was in Cloverfield, he’s on a new soap about a haunted Park Avenue co-op). Matthew Reeve, the son of the late Superman star and activist, is to play host and continue his father’s legacy.
No. 8, 8 West 16th Street, 7pm, tickets and information can be found at christopherreeve.org/summer.
