The Gold Gala held the sixth annual evening for St. Jude over the weekend, hosted by Kevin Davenport and Annabelle Devlin. The late-night shindig took place at The Bowery Hotel and was attended by a chic set of young professionals and philanthropists, raising $163,525 for the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The event committee lineup included: Lilli Donahue, Megan Leonard, Victoria Maurer, GG Mirvis, Gabrielle Loiacono, Samantha Moran, Shelbea Moulin, Matt Nigro, Yesenia Papile, Elise Runde Voss, Brent Smelter, Alanna Sutherland, James Tang, and Geoffrey Tresley. On the social committee: Ben Elberg, Kyle Gordon, Kevin Izzo, Rob Lloyd, Jonathan Miller Meeks, Brian Mulderrig, RIck Pierce, and Gabe Slavik. “This year’s Gold Gala signifies a major milestone for our Committee. We are both elated and humbled to have exceeded our pledge to St. Jude,” said Davenport, co-chair of The Gold Gala in a statement. “We have high aspirations for The Gold Gala’s continued growth and support of the Hospital for many years to come.”

The evening featured an open bar and delicious hors d’oeuvres from Michelin Star-recipient Le Distrct, as well as a silent auction that featured items like tickets to Andy Cohen‘s Watch What Happens Live and Barry’s Bootcamp, among many others. On the entertainment front? Band Men or Myth was back for the second year in a row—guests were spotted up on their feet and dancing until late hours of the night.

Since 2012, The Gold Gala, which was co-founded  has donated $650,000 to St. Jude.
