Thomas J. Henry is an attorney and philanthropist who is no stranger to throwing parties to be remembered. In 2016, the $6 million QuinceaΓ±era they threw for their daughter Maya was a viral sensation. They also sponsored the 2016 Apollo in the Hamptons event at Ron Perelman home, the 2017 Republic Records Grammy after-party, and the 2017 Maxim Super Bowl party.
The man with the golden touch loves the vision of bashes, but he also has a heart just as big as his parties when it comes to giving back to his employees and the community. Henry is also a well-known philanthropist – hosting and sponsoring large scale community events and donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to education initiatives, armed forces and veterans causes, pet-related charities, child abuse prevention, poverty, and more.
βI help people because I know what it feels like to be treated poorly, and to be in an economic class that people donβt respect,β said the lawyer about his own personal story that inspired him to help those in need with a variety of generous charitable donations. βI show them that there are people who care for them and we all have a path in life. We are one giant community in the world.β
Such generosity flowing from his personal life to the celebration made this a night for the memory books.
