Affair: Inspiration Gala São Paulo
When: Friday, April 10, 2015 @ 8:30PM
Hot Spot: The home of Dinho Diniz, São Paulo, Brazil
Deets: amfAR will honor Felipe Diniz and Jean Paul Gaultier at the fifth annual Inspiration Gala São Paulo on April 10, 2015, in recognition of their contributions to the fight against AIDS. Felipe Diniz hosted the first Inspiration São Paulo event at his home in 2011, and he and the Diniz family have been central to the series’ success in Brazil since its inception. Fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier is a longtime supporter of amfAR, readily offering his tremendous creative and philanthropic resources to help the Foundation raise HIV/AIDS awareness and funds for its lifesaving research programs. Most recently, Gaultier teamed up with amfAR to produce a special edition summer tote, with proceeds benefiting the search for a cure.
The event will include cocktails, a gala dinner, a live auction, and a special rare performance by Australian pop superstar, songwriter and actress Kylie Minogue. Revered Brazilian samba singer Alcione will also perform at the event.
In previous years, the São Paulo gala has featured performances by Mary J. Blige, Grace Jones, Gilberto Gil, Dita Von Teese, Bebel Gilberto, Preta Gil, and Jennifer Hudson. Past honorees include Francisco Costa, John Demsey, Nizan Guanaes, Donata Meirelles, Fergie, Janet Jackson, Pelé, and Mario Testino. Speakers and presenters have included amfAR Global Fundraising Chairman Sharon Stone, Claire Danes, Deborah Harry, and Josh Duhamel. To date, the Inspiration series has raised nearly $20 million for amfAR.
