More than 350 guests attended the fourth biennial Save the Children charity gala held at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich in Old Greenwich, CT. The global humanitarian agency announced that Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Connelly had joined Save the Children as an Artist Ambassador to advocate early education in the United States and around the world. “As a mom, I welcome this opportunity to help other moms around the world achieve the dreams they have for their children,” said Connelly.
The evening included a cocktail reception and dinner, along with entertainment and a private auction. Guests bid on auction items such as dinner for 10 in the wine cellar of Mario Batali’s Babbo, two tickets to the London Olympics with accommodations and round-trip upper-class airfare on Virgin Atlantic; a golfer’s Pinehurst Resort getaway for four, and a two-week stay at a summer house with private beach at the Stockholm archipelago.
Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb of Today co-hosted the evening benefit, which was sponsored by Save the Children’s Greenwich and Westchester Leadership Councils.
