6th Annual Focus for Change Benefit Dinner & Concert

6th Annual Focus for Change Benefit Dinner and Concert

 

Our 2010 benefit dinner and concert took place on Thursday, December 2nd at Roseland Ballroom in NYC.

 

The event was co-hosted by Peter Gabriel and Maggie Gyllenhaal with special guest, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.  The evening included musical performances by Antibalas, Jimmy Cliff and Sheryl Crow.

 

We honored HBO for using the power of documentary film to educate, illuminate and inspire and our partner LICADHO for their work using video to end forced evictions in Cambodia.
