Blige was honoree, Anderson Cooper was Host, Ne-Yo performed, an amazing young woman named Shantel Schloss was recipient of the Spirit Award. They raised more than $1.5 million (with Jamie Niven from Sotheby’s raising nearly $300,000 in a live auction).

Co-chairs were Nina and Mitch Davidson, Oscar de la Renta, Susan and Tony Gilroy, Nancy and Andrew Jarecki, Kevin Lilies, Shirin von Wulffen and Frederic Fekkai, and Stephanie and David Wolkoff. |
