The excitement is mounting and the tiaras are starting to shine. Their<br />
Most Imperial Sovereign Majesties<strong>–</strong>Emperor XXIX and Regent Emperor<br />
XXXII Graham D’ Craquer and Empress XXXIV and Regent Empress XXXVII<br />
Madelyn Keyth<strong>–</strong>are getting ready for the 38th Annual “Night of a Thousand<br />
Gowns”<br />
Please join the Imperial Court of New York as they celebrate the Night Of A<br />
Thousand Gowns, benefitting Trinity Place Shelter, on Saturday March 23rd<br />
at the New York Hilton Midtown (1335 Avenue of the Americas, NYC) from<br />
6:00PM-11:00PM.<br />
The Imperial Court of New York is a 501 (c)3 philanthropic corporation that<br />
has raised thousands of dollars for a barrage of worthy causes through the<br />
production of entertaining, fundraising events throughout the year. Their<br />
signature event is the charity ball “Night of a Thousand Gowns”, a red carpet,<br />
formal gala which is filled with entertainment, a silent auction, great food<br />
and drink and good friends.<br />
Madelyn Keyth began performing on Long Island with Neil’s Hollywood<br />
Follies as Mae West. She produced her first charity event, which was one of<br />
the first AIDS benefits on Long Island, and has been doing benefit work ever<br />
since. Her shows and events have raised over $100,000, even stepping up<br />
during Covid. Her husband Graham D’Craquer formed a lifelong passion<br />
for working with food at a very early age. He later began working in the<br />
medical field and celebrated the wonder of the science surrounding that<br />
arena. Together, these two are excited to exceed all expectations this year<br />
and “keep the jewel that is the ICNY shining.”
