The Wall Street Dinner
Our premier dinner attracts more than 1,100 financial professionals and philanthropists every year, successfully raised more than $19 million for UJA-Federation’s 2010 Annual Campaign.
At this event, UJA-Federation presents an outstanding leader in the Wall Street community with the Gustave L. Levy Award. The award pays tribute to an individual whose vision and generosity honor the memory of “Gus” Levy, a former senior partner of Goldman Sachs. Levy was a UJA-Federation leader who marshaled the resources of the financial industry for the good of the community.
This year, the Wall Street Division will honor Paul J. Taubman of Morgan Stanley with the Gustave L. Levy Award and Scott L. Shleifer of Tiger Global Management with the Wall Street Young Leadership Award at the Wall Street Dinner on Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at the New York Hilton.
Wall Street Young Leadership Award
The Wall Street Dinner also pays tribute to a rising star in the industry, who has demonstrated uncompromising integrity in business and philanthropy.
