Proceeds will benefit disabled veterans through the
“Pups4Patriots” program at American Humane and South
Florida youth through the Palm Beach County Food
Bank’s “Lois’ Food4Kids” program, a year-round initiative
that provides underserved, disadvantaged children with
nutritious meals when they are not in school, on weekends,
and during the summer.
“Everyone who attends the gala will experience an
unforgettable night, while also making a difference in
people’s lives,” said Pope. “That’s always been our guiding
principle. Everything that we have achieved with the Lady
in Red Gala over nearly three decades – all the lives we have
touched for the better, the difference we have made in helping
disabled veterans, impoverished and underserved children,
in saving dogs and cats, and so much more – is because of
the generosity, empathy, friendship, and commitment of our
supporters and board of directors.”
Of course, the success of the Lady in Red Gala is also
attributable to the quality of its entertainment. Indeed, the
great ones endure, and Dionne Warwick has long been one
of the greatest. She was discovered by Burt Bacharach and
Hal David in 1961. She went on to record 18 consecutive Top
100 singles, including Don’t Make Me Over, Walk on By, Say
a Little Prayer, A House Is Not A Home, Alfie, Heartbreaker,
and Déjà Vu, among countless others. She received her first
Grammy in 1968 for Do You Know the Way to San Jose?
and became the first African American solo female artist
of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best
Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance.
Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. are the original stars and
lead singers of the legendary group, The 5th Dimension, where
they launched Champagne and Pop Soul Classics, including
Up, Up and Away, Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In, Worst That
Could Happen, Stoned Soul Picnic, Sweet Blindness, Wedding
Bell Blues, and One Less Bell to Answer. After leaving The
5th Dimension, Marilyn and Billy recorded You Don’t Have
To Be A Star (To Be In My Show), a chart-topping number one
record, which won them their seventh Grammy Award and a
network television variety show on CBS.
A house-filling favorite in Las Vegas since she opened as
one of the hottest tickets in town in June 2000, Rita Rudner
is known for her one-liners. Throughout a 14-year run and
2,000-plus shows, she has sold one and a half million tickets
and become the longest-running solo comedy show in the
history of Las Vegas. She has been named Las Vegas’s
“Comedian Of The Year” nine years in a row.
