Phil and Lisa Maria Falcone have dealt with some difficult times recently, but the hedge-fund billionaire and his wife will host a dinner at their home May 19 for a worthy cause, the Youth Anxiety Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
Tickets per couple range from an amazing $50,000 up to $250,000, but that could put attendees in the company of a founding committee that includes Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, Tommy Hilfiger and Oscar de la Renta.
The center has been developed by Dr. David Shaffer, a child psychiatrist and Wintour’s ex-husband, to search for treatments and train doctors to deal with anxiety-related conditions among adolescents.
