2010 H.U.G. Award Gala
11/03/2010 - By New York, New York

2010 H.U.G. Award Gala

Professionals from the worlds of intimate apparel, retail, finance and medicine convened at the New York hot spot 230 Fifth on November 3rd.

They did so to honor Maurice S. Reznik, CEO of Maidenform Brands, Inc., and Dr. Mathew H.M. Lee, former Chair of the Department and Medical Director of the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, at the Intimate Apparel Square Club’s (IASC) H.U.G. Award Gala fundraiser, which benefited pediatric services at Rusk Institute at NYU Langone Medical Center.

The event had a fun retro theme in recognition of Maidenform’s iconic history and a guest appearance by Maidenform’s wardrobe expert Janie Bryant, the Emmy-winning costume designer for the hit ‘60s-themed series “Mad Men.” Ms. Bryant donated her personal collection of Mattel's pre-production “Mad Men” Barbie dolls as part of a silent auction that included a fantasy baseball experience from the New York Mets baseball team and tickets to “The David Letterman Show” provided by the evening’s master of ceremonies, TV host and comedian Ray Ellin.

The evening was marked by heartfelt speeches from both the honorees and presenters. Dr. Mathew H.M. Lee, whose H.U.G. Award was presented by Dr. Dianne Davis, President of International Council for Caring Communities, charmed the audience with his gracious acceptance speech and a beautiful lei he wore around his neck that was sent in congratulations by his son in Hawaii. H.U.G. honoree Maurice Reznik also received accolades from his sons, Max, Ricky and Sammy, who presented his award and stole the show with their heartwarming recollections of being brought up by such an accomplished and caring father. Mr. Reznik, a longtime supporter of the IASC and Rusk Institute, gave eloquent praise to their work for the pediatric patients. To date, the annual H.U.G. Award Gala has raised nearly $3 million for Rusk Institute. H.U.G. Award funds also benefit programs at Tisch Hospital.
