Philip J. Smith, president of the omnipresent Shubert Organization, was on the receiving end of many accolades as the UJA-Federation honored him for his life's work on Feb. 28.

The Shubert Organization is a major force on Broadway, among other activities, the company produces productions, provides grants and owns 16 Broadway theatres. The UJA-Federation is the world’s largest local philanthropy community and helps sustain the activities of more than 100 health, human-service, educational, and community agencies, according to the group's website.

At left Mamma Mia! stars Liz McCartney and Sara Kramer are seen above Smith and his wife, playwright Tricia Walsh Smith, at the UJA Federation dinner, held at the Pierre Hotel on 5th Ave and 61th Street in New York City.
