Reported Charitable Activities
- 1979: Donald Trump was reportedly an organizer of a charitable benefit for children with cerebral palsy. “Jean Kennedy Smith attends exhibition of paintings by handicapped children, Donnell Library, New York City. Exhibition, sponsored by US Education Office and National Committee of Arts for the Handicapped, is on tour of American cities. Benefit for United Cerebral Palsy will be held at New York Hilton Hotel. Attendees will pay $300 a couple to gamble, casino-style. Arlene Francis, Mrs Donald Trump and Mrs Edgar M Bronfman are organizing event.” (New York Times, November 8, 1979)
- 1980: Donald Trump was a member of the committee that organized a fundraising benefit for restoration of Brooklyn's historic courthouse. “On Thursday night, when Brooklyn was 355 years old, the Borough Hall Restoration Foundation threw a fund-raising party to restore its handsome 131-year-old Borough Hall. Brooklyn was a city when the building was constructed - it did not vote to join New York until 1898 - and the hall was meant to outdo Manhattan's City Hall. This was the foundation's third birthday party and tickets were $355 a couple; last year, they were $354. As Howard Golden, the Borough President, said, ‘The foundation has found a way to beat spiraling prices - tickets go up only $1 a year.’ […] Donald J. Trump was a member of the committee for the restoration dinner; his company owns the the Bonwit Teller site, where the impressive Art Deco panels were smashed by jackhammers this week.” (New York Times, June 7, 1980)
