Los Angeles—Safari Nights, a semi-annual fundraiser for  Kenya’s Cura Orphanage co-hosted by Jennifer Gross of Blue Chip Foundation , attracted dozens of attendees and generous donations from Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Sammy Hagar and Rod Stewart. Typically, Safari Nights generates funds through auctions—but this year, the event relied on ticket sales and contributions. Organized by the Creative Visions Foundation , this tremendously successful event’s tickets were priced at $100 to reach a broad cross-section of philanthropically minded people.

 

Held in Hensen Studios’ Studio A, where “We Are the World” was recorded in 1985, Safari Nights was also hosted by Hayden Bixby, Amy Eldon Turtletaub, Faryal Ganjehei and Lucy Woodward.

 

Donations for the Cura Orphanage, which supports approximately 50 children who have lost their parents to AIDS, go toward ensuring the children living there are able to continue their educational journeys and obtain vocational training as they transition into adults.
