We love seeing our favorite stars on the big screen, but hearing about their philanthropic service is even better. The Women’s Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) honorary chairs Rita Wilson, Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg, along with WCRF co-founders Quinn Ezralow, Marion Laurie, Kelly Chapman Meyer, and Jamie Tisch welcomed guests to An Unforgettable Evening presented by Saks Fifth Avenue. The event returned to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, with proceeds benefitting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, a program of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
The evening was hosted by Emmy award-winning host, writer, and producer James Corden. It included dinner, an awards presentation, and musical performance. Tom Ford presented the Nat King Cole Award to Grammy and Academy award-winning artist and actor Jennifer Hudson for her ongoing work around women’s issues. Award-winning actress and entrepreneur Sofia Vergara took home the 2018 Courage Award from honorary chair Rita Wilson for her continued support and dedication to raising awareness for cancer research.
Grammy-Award winning, multiplatinum international icon, Pitbull, closed the evening with a medley including his hits “Give Me Everything,” “Don’t Stop The Party,” “Fireball,” and “I Know You Want Me.” The event raised over $1.5 million for the cause.
