Academy Award winning actress Halle Berry is proud to welcome her friend and colleague Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Hudson to bring a show stopping performance at the annual Silver Rose Gala and Auction, benefiting the Jenesse Center.
Karen Earl, Executive Director Jenesse Center said, "It is thrilling to have Ms. Hudson join our event lineup. She is a true supporter of our work in healing families in crisis."
The annual Silver Rose Gala and Auction will be hosted at the Beverly Hills Hotel & Bungalows, Sunday, April 27th at 12 noon. The event's star studded lineup also features Jay Leno, Emmy Award winning host of NBC's top rated "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", as this year's official auctioneer.
All proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the women and children of the Jenesse Center, a non profit organization that provides a holistic, comprehensive program to nurture victimized families back to a place of mental, financial, physical and emotional well being.
The Silver Rose Gala and Auction is the kick off event to the Silver Rose Weekend, held April 27 - 28th, and will honor individuals and organizations in Jenesse's circle of excellence that have demonstrated the "Power of One" to affect change in their communities. Honorees include multi-specialty law firm, Greenberg Glusker, honored for helping Jenesse with its goal of providing safe and affordable housing; community activist, Ruth Dewson, honored for her role in engaging the community on issues of domestic violence; Civil Rights icon, Xernona Clayton, honored for her lifetime work of championing human and women's rights, and The Western Region of LINKS, honored for their continued support of Jenesse and their dedication to the empowerment of women.
The Silver Rose Weekend will continue with the inaugural Halle Berry Celebrity Golf Classic at the Mountain Gate Country Club on Monday, April 28th at 8:30am. Avid golfer Samuel L. Jackson will join Ms. Berry on the greens with several Hollywood A-listers and registered guests for a day of friendly competition, fun and several opportunities for vigorously generous charitable giving. The golf classic will acknowledge many trailblazers in the world of golf, including Renee Powell, who made history as the second African American woman to play in the Ladies Professional Golf Association
Berry is resolute on the importance of her personal commitment to the Jenesse Center. She said, "The Silver Rose Weekend will raise much needed funds to help families victimized by domestic violence. I donate my time and resources to Jenesse Center, because I strongly believe in this agency and have seen first hand the difference they make in the lives of women and children in their community."
