A Tribute to Paul Newman and A Hole in the Wall Camps
- U.S.A.
“The need is great and so are the opportunities to make a difference one smile at a time.”
- Paul Newman
This year, we lost a great humanitarian and philanthropist in the passing of Paul Newman. One of our personal heroes, Newman was a generous and kind man whose commitment to giving and helping all those he could will inspire. In honor of such a great man, we would like to recognize and support one of his many wonderful organizations: Hole in the Wall Camps.
Two decades ago, actor Paul Newman’s dream of opening a camp for children with serious medical conditions became a reality. His endless passion and commitment to help those less fortunate, especially children, was enormous. Children whose lives are interrupted by illness are able to put their worries aside and enjoy a carefree camp experience thanks to Paul’s tireless efforts and boundless enthusiasm.
Founded in 1988, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is a wondrous place which became the starting point for what is now a global family of camps. Today, Hole in the Wall Camps restore childhood to children living with cancer, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, HIV and other serious medical conditions.

UNICEF Snowflake Ball
- Cipriani 42nd Street, New York City
On Wednesday, December 3rd the annual UNICEF benefit - the Snowflake Ball - was a huge success. Honoring Lucy Liu and Gary Cohen and raising money and awareness for a wonderful cause, the event was a star-studded: Charlotte Moss in Jackie Rogers, Hilary Gumbel in Reem Acra, Amy Robbins in Oscar de la Renta, Lucy Lui in J. Mendel, Pamela Fiori in Carolina Herrera and many more.
The UNICEF Snowflake is a dazzling, illuminated crystal ornament that graces the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in New York City and Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills each holiday season as a beacon of hope, peace and compassion for vulnerable children around the world.
This magnificent creation was designed, engineered and entirely handcrafted by Ingo Maurer and his team in Germany, using 16,000 Baccarat crystal prisms. The three-dimensional structure consists of 12 double-sided branded and is 23 feet in diameter, over 28 feet in height, and more than 3,300 pounds. The largest outdoor crystal chandelier of its kind, it was dedicated to UNICEF by the Stonbely Family Foundation in 2002.
More than a symbol, the UNICEF Snowflake is the centerpiece of an ambitious campaign to raise millions of dollars in support of health, immunization, nutrition, clean water and sanitation, education and protection for children in developing nations.

- $750 provides a tent to shelter children in need
