BrazilFoundation's VII Annual Benefit

BrazilFoundation held its VII Annual Benefit Dinner at Cipriani gathering more than 440 friends, donors and collaborators in support of social projects in Brazil.

The event celebrated the city of Rio de Janeiro while guests danced to the beats of Frederick Douglass Academy’s Harlem Samba and the irreverent Silvia Machete.

The VII Annual Benefit Dinner honored Alberto Weisser, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bunge Limited; Cosette Alves, President of the Inter-American Culture and Development Foundation (ICDF); Oskar Metsavaht, Creative Director of Osklen fashions and founder of the NGO Institute e; and Otaviano Canuto, Vice president of the World Bank and Head of the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM) Network.

Among the guests who attended the event were the Brazilian Ambassador to the United States Antonio Aguiar Patriota, Brazilian Ambassador to the United Nations Maria Luiza Viotti, the consul of Brazil in New York Osmar Choffi and his wife Katia. Guests also included Miss Brazil Natalia Anderle, models Luciana Curtis, Cristiane Cavalcante and Martha Streck, Brazilian TV host Pedro Andrade and promoter Fernando Tormena. The Benefit Committee for the event included the founding chair Malu Millerman, Chritina Rose, Angela Magarian, Alessandra Emanuel, Nicholas and Patricia Lobaccaro, Marcus Vinicius Ribeiro, Roberta Mazzariol and Jean Marc Bouchut, Iracilda and Pedro Lichtinger and Paula Bezerra de Mello.

The event was sponsored by Atlas Advisors, the lead sponsor; Bunge; City of Rio de Janeiro; Deutsche Bank; FIRJAN; TAM Airlines; Bloomberg; Pfizer; Sergio & Malu Millerman; Safra Bank; Allan Rose; The Tinker Foundation; and Violy & Company.

All proceeds from the event will fund social projects in Brazil in 2010.
