On The Scene: 2015 amfAR Hong Kong Gala

Hello Friends:

Yesterday, The Foundation for AIDS Research held its gala in Hong Kong. Year after year this black-tie gala becomes the platform that is used to raise funds for the Foundation’s research programs and raise awareness for HIV/AIDS. The Foundation for AIDS Research, is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the support of AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and the advocacy of AIDS-related public policy. Last year, amfAR launched the “Countdown to a Cure for AIDS,” a research initiative aimed at developing the scientific basis for a cure for HIV by 2020. This means amfAR will strategically invest $100 million in cure research over the next five years. This annual red carpet event brings some of our most fabulous glitterati and last night raised 4 million dollars for AIDS research!! 🙂

V-DAY RUNWAY FUNDRAISER

Happy Friday!

What is New York Fashion Week without a charity event? In 2005, Naomi Campbell created Fashion for Relief to fundraise for worthy causes via fashions shows and events during NYFW. Fashion for Relief is now global with past events in London, Moscow, Tokyo and Cannes that have raised millions of dollars for various causes. This year Fashion For Relief is on Valentine’s Day and you can go for just $40! Naomi Campbell once again will hit the catwalk with models alike to raise funds and awareness for victims of the Ebola disease. Celebrities will model amazing designers and after the show you have an opportunity to buy pieces anywhere from Diane Von Furstenberg to March Jacobs and Givenchy. All proceeds from Saturday’s events will benefit the Ebola Survival Fund that supports communities affected with Ebola.

Go buy tickets and spread the word!! This is an opportunity for you to attend a fashion show and give back, all on Valentine’s Day.  {But tickets here}

Have a great weekend, Friends!
