Almost ten years since its first annual event in Palm Beach, Florida, The Paradise Fund will inaugurate its newest chapter, Paradise Fund: NYC, on October 9, 2012 at the Soho Grand Hotel. Over Two Hundred Fifty (250) of New York's young, philanthropic trendsetters are expected to gather at this invitation-only event. Guests will sample delectable bites from The Chef and sip signature cocktails from Medea Spirits, while enjoying sounds from DJ Jonny Famous. Christopher DiSchino, co-founder of The Paradise Fund will present the latest news and upcoming plans for The Paradise Fund: NYC. This event marks the second of a series of launch events for The Paradise Fund's new chapters, the first in Miami and a third planned in Los Angeles for later this year.  

Founded in Palm Beach by Christopher DiSchino, Kent Anderson and Loy Anderson III, The Paradise Fund is a grass-roots movement, carried throughout the country by a dedicated and ambitious group of students and young professionals. Beginning with the creation of the Paradise Ball and its widely praised Paradise Casino, The Paradise Fund brings together the new generation of young professionals from New York and Palm Beach in support of children suffering from illness, ravaged by war, lacking proper schooling or living on the streets of our local community.
