The John Varvatos 8th Annual Stuart House Event

April 1st, 2011 | Posted By John | Comments (1) | Categories News

On Sunday, March 13th, we closed down the streets of Melrose and Robertson
in the heart of West Hollywood and raised over $500,000 for Stuart House, a charity
which is very near and dear to me, as it helps children of sexual abuse. With over
1,500 guests the tents were over flowing with people enjoying an afternoon
of great food, luxury shopping, live and silent auctions & lots of children's activities.




 

Patrick Dempsey and his lovely wife, Jillian, graciously hosted the event and helped Bill Bellamy,
our emcee, up the ante in our live auction by getting members of the cast of Grey's Anatomy
on stage as the crowd bid higher and higher for the opportunity to win a set visit to the show!



 

My dear friend, Melina Kanakeredes eyed up the awesome selection of signed guitars
ranging from Steven Tyler to Dave Navarro to Billy Idol to Kings of Leon. All generously
donated to our silent auction.



 

Inside the store Shepard Fairey kicked things up a notch on the turn tables!



 


Although the tunes inside were rockin', I couldn't have an event without a little
live music. First up, Franky Perez.



 

Followed by the main act, k.d. lang and THE SISS BOOM BANG!



 

A few familiar faces came out to support the cause as well.....







 

Check out the video.
