Celebrity Gives Back: Elton John Hosting Annual Charity Ball

Written by Marketing Intern Caroline Howell

 Sir Elton John is famous internationally for more than just his singing ability; his AIDS Foundation has funded hundreds of projects across the globe. Elton John has worked relentlessly to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to help HIV/AIDS victims find hope.

According to the Foundation’s website, “Our mission is to provide focused and sustainable funding to frontline programs that help to alleviate the physical, emotional and financial hardship of those living with, affected by or at risk of HIV/AIDS, and to continue the fight against this worldwide pandemic.”

Elton John started the White Tie and Tiara Ball in 1999 to help raise money for his foundation.  Hundreds of celebrities come out each year to his 37-acre English manor to support the cause. Some of the celebrities who have attended in the past include David Beckham, Kevin Spacey and Catherine Zeta Jones. The guests get to tour the estate, enjoy some of the finest cuisine that London has to offer, listen to Elton John himself perform, and finish the evening with hours of dancing. The White Tie and Tiara Ball alone has raised millions of dollars to support the Foundation’s projects.
