Honoring Jackson Browne Norma & Russ Ramsey, Pastor James Wuye and Imam Muhammad Ashafa

WITH Hosts Farah Pandith, Rosie Perez, Steven Van Zandt, Mo' Rocca

Dinner, Live Auction & Concert

Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC

Archbishop of South Africa's Desmond Tutu's words of wisdom..."You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ..."  have inspired  the "We ARE FAMILY® FOUNDATION

A non-profit organization founded by legendary songwriter and producer Nile Rodgers---dedicated to promoting peace through interfaith understanding and actions...

PLUS:

Programs...including the Three Dot Dash ---that supports teen leaders around the world who are actively working on projects that address basic human needs and promoting a more peaceful society.

We say, AMEN...to that.

At the annual gala, a massive assortment of musicians, actors, philanthropists and supporters gathered at the Hammerstein Ballroom in midtown Manhattan...

And the party started from the first canape on....finishing up with a primo jam session featuring the uber talents of  Nile Rodgers, the E-Street Band's Stevie Van Zandt, Jackson Browne, and Kate Pierson. WOW.

Some pics we took on the Red Carpet...

We love Kate Pierson-B 52s singer/songwriter...and hostess to some lucky auction winner.
