This year, it took place at Cipriani Wall Street—honoring Amy and Brian France, Co-Owner, NASCAR and founders of the Luke and Meadow Foundation, along with Marc J. Leder, Co-CEO of Sun Capital Partners, Inc.—and the foundation raised over $3 million for blood cancer research.

Hosted by Grammy-nominated Denise Rich and her daughters Daniella Rich Kilstock and Ilona Rich Schachter, the evening remembers and honors Gabrielle Rich Aouad. Proceeds go toward Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research, which focuses its research on sourcing treatments for patients who were diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers that are less toxic. Actress, singer and GMA3 co-host alongside Michael Strahan and Sara Haines, Keke Palmer served as emcee for the evening, which featured performances by Patti LaBelle, Boy George and Flo Rida, as well as a DJ set by DJ Ruckus.
