13th Annual Golden Heart Awards
God’s Love was honored to welcome 800 guests to the 13th Annual Golden Heart Awards on October 21 at Cipriani South Street in Manhattan. The Golden Heart Awards are presented annually by God’s Love to honor the important contributions of individuals, corporations and foundations to the organization’s cause. Funds raised at the event help ensure that no person in the metropolitan area suffers the dual crises of hunger and life-altering illness. At this year’s dinner, God’s Love celebrated the remarkable contributions of three generous people: mayor of South Bend, Pete Buttigieg; John Demsey on behalf of his work with MAC VIVA GLAM Fund; and supermodel, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Iman.
This year, the evening raised $2.9 million in support of our urgent mission of providing life-sustaining meals and nutrition counseling for people living with severe illness.
The sold-out gala began with an Italian Market Experience curated by Eataly. Cocktails were followed by dinner and a live auction.
Comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish started off the night welcoming guests to the Golden Heart Awards. Playwright and screenwriter Matthew Lopez presented Mr. Buttigieg with the Golden Heart Awards for Outstanding Leadership and Public Service. Fashion model Winnie Harlow presented John Demsey and MAC VIVA Glam Fund with the Golden Heart Awards for Outstanding Volunteerism and Community Leadership.
