MTV ReDefine

My sisters and I had such a blast as co-chairs of this year's MTV ReDefine!  It was a treat to get to work together and an honor to work with Joyce Goss and Kenny Goss to raise money for two worthwhile causes, MTV's Staying Alive Foundation and The Dallas Contemporary.

My sisters and I with my dear friend, Franklin Boyd, who came to town from New York to celebrate with us. 

With Ed Bartlett and our amazing art chair, Elisabeth Karpidas, who put together an incredible auction!

With my friend Kimberly Chandler and her brother, Brown Andrews.  It was so nice to have the support of so many friends and family!

The tables were set with Veuve Cliquot and food from The Joule Hotel's new restaurant, Americano which hasn't even opened yet!  They donated all of the food and service so that we were able to give more back to the beneficiaries.

The parking lot of the Goss Michael Foundation was tented and transformed into this magical ballroom.

Our auctioneer was the charming and talented Alexander Gilkes of Paddle 8 who helped us raise over 2.2 Million Dollars!  So exciting!  Thank you to everyone who donated a piece or placed a bid!
