10/27/2010 - By New York, NY

Children's Cancer & Blood Foundation Breakthrough Ball

The Children’s Cancer & Blood Foundation (CCBF) hosted its annual “Breakthrough Ball” benefit gala on Wednesday evening, October 27, 2010 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Proceeds from this benefit help to provide much needed medication, chemotherapy and other life-saving treatments to children who are patients of the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology of New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Katie Couric, Anchor and Managing Editor of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, was presented the “Key to Life” award and “Breakthrough Spirit” awards were presented to legendary singer/songwriter Daryl Hall and NBA Champion and founder of the Trent Tucker Non-Profit Organization, Trent Tucker. Charles Grodin, served as Master of Ceremonies for his fifth consecutive year. The evening also featured a spectacular performance by Daryl Hall, who sang some of his classic hits including, “Maneater” and “You Make My Dreams”.

Jamie Niven, Vice Chairman, Sotheby’s, North and South America, lead a live auction that featured some amazing packages, including an eight-night stay at Aman Resorts with round-trip airfare on Air France and a dinner for eight at Rao’s. The live auction concluded with a pledge item that raised $75,000 for helping uninsured families pay for chemotherapy and other cancer treatments.
