Each MSKCC Miracle host personally visited 80 of the world’s most prestigious brands, including Bally, Hublot, Graff Diamonds, Michael Kors, Ippolita, Buccellati, Molton Brown, Emilio Pucci and Tory Burch.

The event was sponsored by Madison Avenue Business Improvement District (BID) and the media partner was Town&Country magazine.
