On Saturday evening, December 17, 2022, the 25th Ballo di Savoia (Royal Savoy Ball), the annual winter charity gala hosted by the American Foundation of Savoy Orders was held a new venue, The University Club in New York City. The Savoy Foundation was delighted to welcome back His Royal Highness Prince Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy, Prince of Venice and Prince of Piedmont and his cousin His Royal Highness Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia, who were guests of honor for this occasion. The Ball was part of a four-day weekend of events organized by the American Delegation of Savoy Orders and the American Foundation of Savoy Orders, continuing the spirit and tradition of charitable giving and hospitaller care of the historic dynastic orders of knighthood and merit of the thousand-year Royal House of Savoy. More than 300 patrons, benefactors and guests gathered to support the Savoy Foundation’s 25th Annual white-tie dinner-dance. The event raised funds in support of the Savoy Foundation's philanthropic mission - Chivalry for Children's Causes - and the event’s primary beneficiaries - The Cooley’s Anemia Foundation and A Chance In Life Organization, formerly Boys and Girls Town, which provides treatment and care of abused, abandoned and neglected girls and boys. Prior to Saturday’s evening Gala, a welcome reception on Friday evening, December 16 was held at the Lotos Club for guests attending the Royal Savoy Ball. Among the distinguished guests were H.E.
