The New York Commercial Real Estate & Contractors for Tunnel to Towers announced its Fifth Annual Cocktail Tribute scheduled for October 16, 2025, at Redeye Grill in Midtown Manhattan. The event brings together top professionals across commercial real estate, construction, public safety, and building services to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation's mission of providing housing assistance to families of fallen first responders and military service members.
This year's honoree is Bill Dacunto, Executive Vice President of Silverstein Properties, who is being recognized for his dedication to supporting the men and women who serve the nation and communities. Dacunto emphasized the importance of supporting first responders and military personnel, stating they are "truly angels among us" and that "'Never forget' is more than a phrase, it's a call to action, especially for New Yorkers."
The event is organized by a board of senior commercial real estate executives including developers, contractors, engineers, architects, and service providers united in supporting the common cause. Board Chair James A. Pirot highlighted the industry's dependence on first responders, noting that "From skyscrapers to schools, none of it stands without the life safety professionals and first responders who protect them."
Proceeds from the event directly benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a nationally respected non-profit organization established after the 9/11 tragedy. The foundation provides mortgage-free homes to families of fallen first responders and Gold Star families with young children, as well as smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
The gathering represents one of the most significant philanthropic events in New York's commercial real estate calendar, bringing together industry leaders to honor courage, sacrifice, and service while raising critical funds for those who protect communities nationwide.
