JustWorld International
Fundraising Gala
Raises Over $280,000
T
he Ninth Annual JustWorld International
Fundraising Gala was held Friday, January
20, at Maria Newman’s Belle Herbe Farm in
Wellington, Florida. More than 650 guests enjoyed the
1920’s-themed event presented by FTI Consulting,
Whole Foods of Wellington, and Caryl Philips and
Frank Zeiss. The evening raised $280,360 towards
the not-for-proft humanitarian organization’s project
sites in Brazil, Cambodia, Guatemala, and Honduras.
The live auction featured seven incredible items,
including a Boston Bruins hockey package won by the
Graham family; a stay at the Chateau Canisy in Normandy,
France, won by Alexandra Pozzo; and a VIP table for the
2012 Hampton Classic Horse Show won by Pedro Torres.
Founded by Jessica Newman, there are currently more
than 480 JustWorld Rider Ambassadors from 37 different
countries, ranging from nine-year-old pony riders to
Olympic medalists, who help bring attention to JustWorld
International’s cause.
