2011 APJ Festival Gala

“Lights, Camera, and Positive Action” was the motto for Hollywood Domino, and we can certainly say that with the help of our incredible partners BOVET 1822, we accomplished just that! This year’s benefit, held at the Sunset Boulevard in LA and hosted by Moran Atias, Patricia Arquette, Maria Bello, Adrien Brody, Omar Epps, Daya Fernandez, Ashley Greene, Patrick Grove, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Annalynne McCord, Amaury Nolasco, Pascal Raffy, Gina Rodriguez and Madeleine Stowe, raised over $400k in one night!

From the glittering red carpet, to spectacular performances by Aloe Blacc and Natasha Bedingfield, to the Domino tournament in which our glamourous philanthropists put on their best game faces, the night was the perfect kick-off benefit before the Academy Awards. One of our very own co-hosts, Patricia Arquette, snagged an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Boyhood! Congratulations, Patricia. You inspire us.

We couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who attended and joined the APJ family in giving back to Haiti. The success of the night provided the seed funding for a new scholarship fund for girls, called Brilliant is Beautiful, that will empower our young female students to achieve their dreams through education. Thank you to everyone who made the night an unforgettable success.

See you next year, Los Angeles!

We’ve teamed up with new social enterprise Ediké to create a limited edition run of their beautiful Avanti backpacks.  Ediké is creating jobs, paying fair wages, and promoting ethical standards for factory workers in Haiti — and the product speaks for itself. Each backpack is handmade in Haiti and the beautiful design and craftsmanship exemplify Ediké‘s inspiring commitment to the combination of quality, aesthetics, and ethics.

And as if their socially-conscious business model wasn’t enough: for every backpack sold, 50% of the proceeds will be donated to APJ to provide scholarships at the Academy for Peace and Justice. Empowerment and education? Sounds like progress. Be a part of it and buy your new favorite backpack today. #CarryItForward
