The Parsons Benefit is an annual celebration of the transformational role fashion, design and the arts play in today’s world. The evening highlights the work of our students and gathers an esteemed assembly of industry leaders, Parsons alumni, and other
luminaries from our global network to recognize recipients of the Parsons Table Award. Most important, the benefit raises scholarship funds for students of Parsons School of Design.
