Selfless Love Foundation Raises $3.6 Million

At Fifth Annual Gala

Champagne, dancing, flowers, and Patrón Tequila tastings
welcomed guests to Selfless Love Foundation’s Fifth Annual
Gala. The sold-out event at The Breakers on Saturday, May
14 raised more than $3.6 million to transform the lives of
children and youth in the foster care system.
Actress and comedian Melissa Peterman emceed the
fundraiser, using her humor and antics to drive up bids for
live auction items including stunning diamond earrings,
seven nights on the superyacht Broadwater, and a VIP
package at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction.
Guests were moved to tears as some of the more than 600
forever families Selfless Love Foundation helped to bring
together took the stage.
“As a child of adoption, I know the value of a forever Steven and Angie Giordanella, Marie and Andy Unanue Eloise and John Paul DeJoria

family – love and stability
change everything,” said
Ashley Brown, founder
and CEO of Selfless
Love Foundation. “We
are privileged to play a
role in bringing families
together or being an
extended family to our
youth.”
All proceeds from the
event will help to match
children in foster care
with adoptive families
and provide life and
leadership skills for
youth who are aging Ed and Ashley Brown
out of the system.
Selfless Love Foundation wishes to thank our generous
gala sponsors: Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits; Patrón
Tequila; JP’s Peace, Love & Happiness Foundation; Tobak
