St. George’s Society of New York will host the British Ball on Wednesday, April 29, at The Plaza Hotel in New York City, bringing together leaders from the Anglo-American and Commonwealth community for an evening rooted in tradition, service, and philanthropy.
By attending, you’re supporting charitable programs that open doors to opportunity—most notably scholarships that help students access education they might not otherwise afford.
