Helen Keller International's Spirit of Helen Keller Gala

Helen Keller International’s sixth annual Spirit of Helen Keller Gala was held on May 24, 2011 at The Pierre Hotel in New York.

With over 300 people in attendance, the event raised over $840,000 to benefit HKI's sight- and life-saving programs in 22 countries around the world.

Academy Award winning actress Meryl Streep acted as Master of Ceremonies and Special Guest for the evening. She presented The Reader’s Digest Partners for Sight Foundation with The Helen Keller Legacy Award; Susan Olivo, Executive Director, accepted on behalf of the Foundation. Ms. Streep then presented Reinold Geiger, Chairman and CEO of L’Occitane en Provence with The Helen Keller Global Visionary Award.

The evening concluded with boisterous live auction conducted by Christie’s Auctioneer, George McNeely that raised an impressive $94,500 for HKI’s programs.

The Gala Co-Chairs were Kate Ganz and Desmond G. FitzGerald. Leslie Dukker Doty served as the Auction Chair.
