Tuesday Dec. 10, Kenneth Cole and Adriana Lima are joining forces for a celebration of heroic Haitian community leaders working with the St. Luke Foundation for Haiti.  Kenneth and Adriana are true friends and supporters of the St. Luke Foundation and have been inspired to share their passion for Haiti and their belief in the St. Luke mission by hosting this event.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from the ticket price of $250 will go directly to St. Luke Hospital in Haiti.  St. Luke Hospital provides high-level specialty care to over 75,000 Haitian mothers, fathers, and children per year.  This Haitian-led facility partners with institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, the University of Maryland, and the American Academy of Neurology and has developed programs that include surgery, critical and emergency care, neurology and radiology, as well as a separate wing for cholera patients.

At the event we will honor Raphael Louigene and Esther Desire, two of the over 1,000 Haitian staff employed by the St. Luke Foundation for Haiti.

Raphael grew up in Simon Pele, one of the most challenging neighborhoods of Port au Prince, and went on to receive his EMT training in the U.S. before returning to serve as a co-founder of St. Luke Hospital.

Esther, a technician, worked extensively in St. Luke’s cholera center and now manages one of St. Luke’s social service programs.  She also is an accomplished singer who shared the stage with Andrea Bocelli in Milan.  Read here for more information on her story and to catch a brief video of her beautiful singing.

The event is open bar with light hors d’oeurves and will feature a performance by Esther, as well as words shared by Kenneth and Adriana and a short video on the work of the St. Luke Foundation for Haiti.
