Most recently, he drove the expansion of MSG's portfolio of entertainment venues by adding the Beacon Theatre, one of the original art-deco showplaces still in existence in New York City. Dedicated to helping those in need, Mr. Dolan is the force behind MSG's response to local and national tragedies. He took a lead role in organizing the star-studded October 2001 "The Concert For New York City," which generated more than $35 million in aid for September 11th victims and heroes, and the unprecedented September 2005 "From The Big Apple to The Big Easy," same-night dual benefit concerts at MSG and Radio City that raised nearly $9 million for Hurricane Katrina relief.
