Albertson, N.Y.— The 35th Annual Reach for a Star Luncheon, presented by Americana Manhasset, delivered a “wicked” good time in benefit of students with severe physical disabilities at the Henry Viscardi School (HVS) at The Viscardi Center.
Special guest Jennifer DiNoia, who plays Elphaba in the long-running musical Wicked on Broadway, performed “Defying Gravity” and several other songs at the fundraiser, which drew 500 attendees to the Crest Hollow Country Club on April 4, 2017. The event raised over $280,000 to be directed toward afterschool programs and extracurricular activities at the Henry Viscardi School.
