Celebs Help Cancer Research at Angel Ball

Last night marked the 10th annual Angel Ball, put on by Denise Rich and friends to raise money for the G&P Foundation for Cancer Research.

According to Fox news, “She (Denise) stuffed 1,400 people into the Marriott Marquis ballroom, mingling her performers with big A-list names such as Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Natalie Cole, Joss Stone and John Legend with Kelly Ripa, Joan Collins, Clive Davis, Bar Refaeli, Petra Nemcova, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Chace Crawford… and so on.”

Denise set the star-studded gala up in memorial to her late daughter, Gabrielle, who died in 1996 at the young age of 27. And as a tribute, Gabrielle’s picture was flashed overhead on a screen at the beginning of the night’s festivities.

At the end of the evening, which cost $1,250 to attend, a grand total of $5 million was raised. Meanwhile, you still can bid on items from the G&P’s silent auction at Charitybuzz.com.
