Amy Adams Honored at Baby2Baby 2018 Gala
Hollywood heavy-hitters, fashion designers and philanthropists kicked off the holiday season with generosity and glamour at Baby2Baby’s seventh annual gala on Saturday, November 10.
Among those flocking to Culver City’s 3LABS in their finery were Katy Perry, Jessica Alba, Kobe Bryant, Zoe Saldana, Ali Wong, Judd Apatow, Sterling K. Brown, Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde, Busy Philipps, Kelly Rowland, Rachel Zoe and Greg Chait. Guests bid on items such as a first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game while savoring morsels from some of L.A.’s finest restaurants, including Felix, Majordomo and Jon & Vinny’s, raising more than $4.3 million by the end of the night.
Co-founded by Kelly Sawyer Patricof and Norah Weinstein, Baby2Baby honored Oscar-nominated actor Amy Adams with the Giving Tree Award, its annual distinction that recognizes a mother who uses her position in the public eye to advocate on behalf of children living in poverty. After being presented with the award by cinematic power couple Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Adams told the crowd, “You never know when an act of generosity will create a moment of great change. I myself have been a recipient of so much generosity. It was through the generosity of strangers that I learned the importance of giving.”
At the soirée presented by Paul Mitchell, philanthropy was also mixed with fun. Grammy-nominated artist MA$E gave an energetic performance, and an afterparty was popping thanks to the deft DJ skills of Wiz Khalifa and Samantha Ronson.
