CASA DRAGONES AT AMFAR DALLAS

A private home became the setting for a very public cause. On October 24, Kathleen and Scott Kirby welcomed amfAR’s second annual Dallas gala, bringing together guests from philanthropy, business and the arts in support of HIV cure research.

Hosted by Lisa Rinna, the evening honored Charlize Theron with the Award of Inspiration and recognized John Stankey with the Philanthropic Leadership Award. Theron’s humanitarian work includes the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, which supports the health and safety of young people in Southern Africa.

Ms. Lauryn Hill supplied the musical centerpiece, while a live auction brought contemporary art, exceptional experiences and luxury lots into the evening’s fundraising efforts. Casa Dragones joined the occasion as guests gathered for cocktails, dinner and a shared commitment to amfAR’s work.

The setting was intimate; the purpose reached far beyond Dallas. An evening to celebrate generosity, and the research iit helps make possible.
