05/12/2010 - By New York, NY

The Spring Celebration Event  to benefit  Solving Kids’ Cancer

The Solving Kids’ Cancer first annual Spring Celebration Event was held on Wednesday, May 12th in the Powerhouse space at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City with a total of $400,000 raised for the charity.

The event was hosted by Solving Kids’ Cancer co-founders John London and Scott Kennedy, who were joined by guests including, Fredrick Anderson, Nigel Barker, Liliana Cavendish, Janis Gardner Cecil, Gabby Karan De Felice, Diandra Douglas, Douglas Hannant, Marcia Gay Harden, Carolina Herrera, Russell James, Donna Karan, Nanette Lepore, Sonja T. Morgan, Kevin Navayne, Lyss Stern, Jill Stuart, Maria Helena Vianna, and Bonnie Young.

Philanthropist & nightclub impresario Amy Sacco and comedian, actor Seth Herzog, of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, served as co-auctioneers for the live auction which featured an unique opportunity to sponsor an innovative and first of its kind pediatric cancer therapeutic trial. The duo rallied the guests to raise the evening’s goal of $165,500 with the SKC board promising to match the money dollar for dollar in order to launch the trial.

The event also featured a silent auction with a painting by renowned artist Brian Farrell of his of his interpretation of Solving Kids’ Cancer and their mission titled “Spring Flight” and a private art lesson in his NY Studio. Variety Cruises generously donated an 8-day cruise for two to Greece and Turkey.

Alexander Dexter-Jones, from the Dexter-Jones/Ronson musical dynasty, guest DJ’ed for the night. For the benefit’s conclusion, attendees were treated to a special performance by three time Grammy award winning singer/songwriter Shawn Colvin.

The evening sponsors included Credit Suisse Prime Services and SuttonBrook Capital Management.
