The 31st annual amfAR Gala Cannes, held on May 22 at the iconic H\u00f4tel du Cap-Eden-Roc, once again proved to be a dazzling convergence of fashion, philanthropy, and celebrity. Hosted by Academy Award-nominated actor and advocate Taraji P. Henson, the event raised over $17 million in support of AIDS research, bringing the gala\u2019s total fundraising impact to nearly $315 million since its inception.<\/p>\n

A standout moment came when amfAR CEO Kevin Robert Frost \u2014 who is retiring after 30 years \u2014 addressed the room with an emotional call to action: \u201cAt amfAR, we\u2019ve been dedicated to curing AIDS for forty years. Thanks to events like this one<\/a> and people like you, we\u2019re getting close. Did you know that so far, 10 people have been cured of AIDS? We need to do a lot better than that.\u201d His words sparked spirited bidding during the live auction led by Simon de Pury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
