Point Foundation “Point Honors – New York” Gala
04/20/2010 - By NYC

Point Foundation “Point Honors – New York” Gala

Celebrities, VIPs and scholars enjoyed a night of fun and entertainment as Point Foundation held its annual “Point Honors – New York” gala,

paying tribute to current and future champions of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. The evening was hosted by Kelly Ripa (“LIVE! with Regis & Kelly”) and Andy Cohen, Bravo’s SVP Original Programming and Development and host of Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live!”

Victoria Reggie Kennedy, wife of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, presented the Point Legend Award to author, political strategist and civil rights activist, David Mixner. The award honors an individual who has, through the course of their lifetime, achieved greatness in their professional career and unapologetically supported the LGBT community. Additionally, “30 Rock” star and Tony® Award winner (Nine) Jane Krakowski, received the Point Courage Award for working as an advocate for the future of the LGBT community and living with the vision that investing in today’s potential will produce a brighter tomorrow. Citi received the Point Inspiration Award, which recognizes a corporation that champions respect and inclusion of the LGBT community, and operates with the vision that the success achieved by talented young people is limited only by the resources and opportunities they are given to help them fulfill their potential.

Actor Mark Consuelos co-hosted the live auction with Cohen and saxophonist Dave Koz and Drama Desk® nominee (Xanadu) and “30 Rock” co-star Cheyenne Jackson each contributed moving performances to the evening.

The fundraising gala broke all its previous fundraising event records by raising more than $600,000 through contributions from corporate sponsorships, table and ticket sales, as well as items sold at the live auction. Sponsors included Presenting Sponsor – Audi; Premier Sponsors - David Bohnett Foundation; HBO; Motorola, Inc.; PricewaterhouseCoopers; Amy L. Robbins and Time Warner. Principal Sponsor was Estée Lauder Companies. National Media Sponsor was The Advocate and Media Sponsors were MetroSource and Next.

“At a time when giving is still difficult for so many, we’re thrilled that there are numerous individuals and companies that share in our belief that educational support today is vital to the future of our society. The evening’s honorees, celebrity co-hosts and participants are a vote of confidence in our mission to provide financial support, mentoring, leadership training and hope to meritorious LGBT students,” said Jorge Valencia, Point Foundation executive director and CEO.

Students who are awarded the organization’s prestigious scholarships, known as Point Scholars, are selected through a rigorous and highly competitive process that requires a track record of demonstrated academic excellence, leadership skills and financial need. A number of Point Scholars attended the benefit.
