Macy’s Passport 2008 Gala in Santa Monica, Ca. (September 25, 08)
An incredible night to remember for a great cause. The event raised $130,000 from the auction and a total of $1.45 million overall. The goal was $1.3 million. It started with a fabulous pre-party with gourmet food with a crowd of celebrities and fashion industry people plus guests. Everyone was moved inside the hanger for the Live Auction by none other than Sharon Stone followed by the wonderful show and entertainers. Sharon did her blunt job for the auction to raise more money while being personal and harsh but in the end, it was about raising money. Designer Christian Agudigier was a huge influence, donater and part of the event. Pictured here with Sharon Stone below. The evening continued with a post party where guests were treated to desserts, treats and gift bags. Mark this on your calender to attend and donate for the future.
