The sold-out fete was a huge success, gathering some of LA’s finest in fashion, entertainment and culture for a good cause. The program began with a welcome note from PSLA founder and Autumn Party event chair, Rochelle Gores Fredston, who shared, “PSLA is honoring two of the most inspirational organizations I know—Donna Karan for her tireless work with the Urban Zen Foundation and Baby Buggy with Jessica Seinfeld for their commitment to lifting children and families out of poverty through providing clothing, gear and services to those in need. PSLA is so proud to support tonight and year around the most innovative non-profit organization I know—Children’s Institute, Inc. Children’s Institute, Inc. serves more than 22,000 children and their families in the city’s most challenged neighborhoods. They provide healing and education so traumatized children can recover and lead healthy lives.”

Demi Moore then introduced the work that Donna Karan does through her urban Zen Inititative—she works to provide for and empower children— before Karan accepted the PSLA Philanthropic Visionary Award.
