In its eleven years, amfAR's black-tie dinner and gala have honored the likes of Carine Roitfeld, Julian Schnabel, Anna Wintour, Barbara Walters, Tom Hanks, Richard Gere, and many more.
This year, Donna Karan, Liza Liza Minnelli and Howard and Cindy Rachofsky were added to the illustrious list.
The annual gala, which has raised nearly $10 million over the years to support AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and the advocacy of sound AIDS-related public policy, celebrated the new honorees on February 12 at Cipriani 42nd Street with an unofficial pre-party to New York's Fashion Week.
Karan, Minelli, and the Rachofskys were awarded the amfAR Award of Courage for outstanding leadership and distinguished service in furthering amfAR's mission, and for playing a vital role in increasing AIDS awareness and accelerating the pace of HIV/AIDS research.
