On Thursday, April 29, Pace University hosted the 47th
Annual Leaders in Management Award (LIM) Dinner at
Cipriani Wall Street.
The event brought together
distinguished Pace alumni, business luminaries and
supporters of the University to celebrate the achievement
of the $100 million It’s Time Centennial Campaign goal
two months ahead of schedule. The dinner was the
highest grossing in its 47-year history and raised $605,000
in support of the Student Scholarship Program, special
projects selected by the President and general University
purposes.
More than 300 Pace alumni, students, and friends
gathered to honor David J. Pecker ’72, Pace University
Trustee and chairman and CEO of American Media, Inc.,
and Gurbaksh Chahal, founder, chairman, and CEO of
gWallet, Inc. and, according to Oprah Winfrey, the
“youngest billionaire on the planet Earth.“ Both Pecker
and Chahal are industry leaders whose work has
transformed the traditional and digital media landscapes.
Maria Bartiromo, anchor of CNBC’s “Closing Bell with
Maria Bartiromo,” served as mistress of ceremonies.
Special guests included Donald J. Trump, who introduced
his long-time friend David Pecker, television personality
Montel Williams, ESPN NFL Analyst Tim Hasselbeck and
his wife Elisabeth Hasselbeck, co-host of “The View.”
