The event will take place at the Angel Orensanz Foundation for the Arts, situated on 172 Norfolk Street in the former Ansche Chesed Synagogue, the venue boasts superbly maintained mid-19th century architecture.
The lounge-style space will feature cocktails and food as well as performances by The Rotten Hill Gang, a six-piece band from London fronted by Mick Jones of The Clash. Eclectic Method featuring London natives Jonny Wilson, Ian Edgar and Geoff Gamlen – who helped pioneer the emerging art of audio-visual mixing since first cutting U2’s Mysterious Ways music video with the Beastie Boys’ Intergalactic as an experiment back in 2002 will close out the night.
The event also includes a silent auction of jewelry by Stephen Webster—three-time winner of the “British Luxury Jeweller of the Year” award and 2008 winner of “UK Jewellery Brand of the Year”—including specially designed bracelets supporting the fight against cancer with net proceeds benefiting EIF’s Cancer programs. Webster is widely known as the jeweler to the stars; his celebrity client list includes Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Cattrall, and Christina Aguilera among others.
Some of EIF’s cancer programs include: Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), Woman’s Cancer Research Fund, Brains on Bikes, Right Action for Woman, and the National Colorectal Research Alliance
