The seventh annual Seeds of Peace Bid for Peace Celebrity Auction
The seventh annual Seeds of Peace Bid for Peace Celebrity Auction brought celebrities and over 1,200 New York professionals to the Copacabana on February 16th and helped to raise close to $850K for programs that empower young people from regions of conflict, including Israelis and Palestinians, with the leadership skills required to advance coexistence.
This year’s event honored Christiane Amanpour of CNN; Former Assistant Secretary of State James Rubin; former US Ambassador to the UN Richard C. Holbrooke. Universal Artists’ Miri Ben-Ari, the hip hop violinist and recent Grammy Award-winner for her collaboration on Kanye West’s Jesus Walks, performed live following Ben-Ari, DJ Mark Ronson kept the crowd on its feet.
Celebrities from stage and screen as well as other notables “walked the path to peace” down the red carpet accompanied by a Seeds of Peace graduate.
