Kimberly Guilfoyle’s outfit shouldn’t distract from the true mission of the amfAR gala
The glitz and glamour of the amfAR gala always attract considerable attention, and it seems Kimberly Guilfoyle aims to catch as many eyes as possible with her choice of attire for the evening. Yet, we must remember the significant purpose of this gala: to gather donations to support amfAR’s initiative to eradicate the global HIV/AIDS epidemic.
As reported by Deadline, this year’s gala in Cannes managed to raise over $17 million for AIDS research. In light of this, renowned filmmaker Spike Lee expressed the vital importance of organizations like amfAR, especially given significant budget cuts from President Donald Trump. “This is a worthy cause, and these cuts will ultimately lead to loss of life. People will suffer. When I was invited to join, my answer was immediately ‘Yes,’ without any doubt,” Lee shared.
Famed actress Michelle Rodriguez, known for her role in “Fast & Furious,” also praised the organization’s effectiveness, asserting that amfAR demonstrates tangible results. “The research they’ve financed has led to the development of new medications, and they are at the forefront of autoimmune research. It’s gratifying to support an organization where I can track the impact of my contribution,” Rodriguez noted.
