Jennifer Lopez and Alan Cumming feted for AIDS charity work
Jennifer Lopez and Alan Cumming were the toast of the 2013 amfAR Inspirational Gala on Thursday (13Jun13) when they were feted for their tireless philanthropy efforts.
Guests including Uma Thurman and Liza Minnelli gathered to salute the pair at The Plaza hotel in New York, where they were treated to a performance by Carly Rae Jepsen.
Vogue magazine contributing editor Andre Leon Talley was on hand to
present Lopez with the Humanitarian Award in recognition of her
work with the amfAR organization, the United Nations Children's
Fund (UNICEF), and her own Lopez Family Foundation, while Scottish
actor Cumming received the Award of Courage from his close pal
Minnelli for his continued work to promote public health and AIDS
research.
Fashion designer Valentino Garavani was also celebrated at the
bash, although he was unable to attend, leaving supermodel Iman to
collect the Award of Inspiration on his behalf.
The gala raised funds for The Foundation for AIDS Research, with
tickets priced at $1,200 each.
