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.
