April Benefit Events a Success

Apr 18, 2008

New York

Thanks to help and support of supermodel, Petra Nemcova, the Somaly Mam Foundation Benefit Dinner in Manhattan was a success! Major sponsors included Diane von Furstenberg, Glamour Magazine, LexisNexis, Michael Angelo’s Wonderland, and Joseph Abboud. Hosting the event and speakers for the evening included Petra Nemcova; Abigail Disney; Glamour Editor-in-Chief, Cindi Leive, and LexisNexis Global CEO, Andy Prozes.

The evening began with a red carpet entrance where media such as Dateline, People Magazine, OK, US Weekly, and a local New York news channel interviewed the special guests.


Denver

Sponsored by the Hill Foundation the Denver cocktail benefit was held at the elegant and historical Oxford Hotel. Top News Anchor, Bertha Lynn of Channel 7 presented as mistress of ceremonies for the evening. Somaly Mam gave an emotionally powerful speech about her life in Cambodia and her dedication to helping the victims of sex trafficking.

In addition to the cocktail reception, the Denver Chapter of the Somaly Mam Foundation organized 2 sold out screenings of Holly, which included a question and answer session with Somaly Mam and film producer, Guy Jacobson. The evening served as both a fundraiser and opportunity to expose students and Denver community members to the cause. Sponsored by the Denver Film Society, the movie will continue playing through Friday
