Inaugural Fire and Ice Gala in Aspen to Combat World Hunger Features Live Performances by RUN-DMC’s Darryl McDaniels, comedian Josh Nasar
The premier, star-studded event hosted by Amy and Gary Green, will bring together celebrities, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists in support of the organization’s mission to fight against the world hunger crisis that has left more than 660 million people in 89 countries – more than 8% of the Earth’s eight billion inhabitants – without significant food and undernourished.
The Fire and Ice Gala will honor those doing important work in ending food insecurity globally. Evening honorees include representatives from Stronger Foundations for Nutrition, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and UNICEF.
The 100 Billion Meals Challenge launched in 2022 and spearheaded by Tony Robbins, an international entrepreneur, philanthropist, #1 N.Y. Times bestselling author and the world’s #1 life & business strategist, is an initiative to fund and resource organizations across the globe by partnering with individuals and organizations proven most effective in their areas of expertise. The initiative will mobilize money, messaging, and moments to raise awareness and resources at scale by collaboratively bringing individuals, corporations, and organizations together to address the imperative real-world need – ENDING MASS HUNGER AND FOOD INSECURITY.
Funds raised at the event will be deployed in partnership with the UNICEF Child Nutrition Fund to help save the lives of children dying of “wasting”, the most acute form of malnutrition. Money donated toward this effort will be matched 1:1 through UNICEF’s partnerships with national governments to save lives. A portion of proceeds will also be deployed in the local Aspen community.
At the invitation-only March 17th fundraising gala at the exclusive ASPENX Mountain Club, attendees will walk a red carpet inside to a night that will include cocktails, a reception, a live auction and live entertainment featuring special guest performances by Grammy-award winning rapper Darryl McDaniels of the iconic hip hop group, Run-DMC, DJ Charlie Chan, DJ Shawn Pereira and End of Code and stand-up comedian/social media sensation Josh Nasar.
