Dinner & Art Auction
Each year the Awards Recognition Dinner & Art Auction event raises money to benefit the foundation’s goal of helping seniors in the metropolitan New York City area enjoy healthier, safer, more productive and dignified lives. The Foundation supports those who may have limited resources at a time when they have the greatest needs, so they may continue to live independently.
A portion of funds raised at the dinner will support the Foundation’s new program – Shingles Virus Awareness and Vaccination Program. This program directly addresses the low level of shingles awareness among NYC seniors and provides a no-cost vaccination to those who otherwise cannot afford it.
We appreciate your contribution and participation. Each is essential in fulfilling our mission to help seniors in need.

Eva-Maria Tausig is a quintessential New Yorker and a long-time member of the board of the New York Foundation for Eldercare and its current treasurer. Her life is one of service, concentrating on seniors and she believes in acting, rather than lip-service, to advance a cause. Her grandparents, Dr. & Mrs. Paul G. Frank, and family, knew Margaret Tietz and her family in Germany. They assisted Margaret Tietz in her social work activities at Newark House. Later, Paul’s son, Ernst L. Frank, was one of the founders of the New York Foundation for Nursing Homes, the predecessor organization, which was initially established for Holocaust survivors, among other seniors. Mrs. Tausig joined the board of the Margaret Tietz Nursing Home in 1985 and served for more than 25 years. She has been on the board of the Women’s City Club of New York, as well as the National Dance Institute, for many years. She received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and completed a doctoral residency in linguistics at Columbia University.
