All About Town & Country's 2019 Philanthropy Summit
Update: Read all about yesterday's summit here.
On May 8, 2019, Town & Country will host its sixth annual Philanthropy Summit at Hearst Tower. The invitation-only event's star-studded roster of speakers and panelists include actors Adam Driver and Yara Shahidi, restaurateur Danny Meyer, director Ava DuVernay, former U.S. Representative Patrick J. Kennedy, and documentary filmmaker Abigail Disney, who recently made headlines for telling The Cut that she would ban private planes if she could.
Hot topics on the schedule include climate change, criminal justice reform, the opioid crisis, and arts education.
None of this would be possible without the support of our partners.

Pomellato
Empowering women is an essential part of Pomellato’s manifesto. Founded in Milan in 1967 during a revolutionary time for women’s independence, Pomellato jewelry was created with the empowered, independent woman in mind. The modern woman needed a more versatile jewel to wear from workday to evening, and Pomellato’s revolutionary prêt-a-porter jewel concept fills that niche. Pomellato has since been known as a woman’s brand: 75% of the Milanese jeweler’s workforce is female, and the vast majority of its clientele are women buying jewels for themselves. In 2017, on Pomellato’s 50th anniversary year, Pomellato launched #PomellatoForWomen, a communication platform of like-minded women from varied disciplines, backgrounds and generations and is meant to both inspire others and highlight the importance of female leadership.
