A Girl's Night Out

Rihanna Moon Sparkle Concert

Last night I attended the exclusive Rihanna benefit concert at the Highline ballroom. I had such a great time! Rihanna puts on such an amazing show.
Escada Moon Sparkle teamed up with Rihanna’s label Island Def Jam in support of her latest album Good Girl Gone Bad and her Believe Foundation to present a Girls Night Out! The event was organized by Escada, who Rihanna worked with to create their newest fragrance, Moon Sparkle! .
As much as I loved the show, my personal highlight was actually meeting all the patients and donors who were able to attend the concert as VIPs.
Sometimes it’s really so easy to become jaded and separate work from emotions but sometimes there are moments when you realize that what you do makes a difference. I had one of those moments Wednesday night when I met Danny.

Danny’s 14, a double transplant survivor, and my new hero. He is so smart, articulate and has to be the funniest kid ever! He had us all cracking up the entire show with his one liners. And as if he wasn’t amazing enough, he hand painted these knee high Converse sneakers for Rihanna that he was going to present to her after the show. I told him he better stay in touch because I want a pair of my own….he also won the heart of a reporter from People magazine who was so moved by Danny. He told her that he could make her a pair as well. Danny is the type of person that you are lucky to meet and the experience will last you a lifetime.

The night was a great success for DKMS, Rihanna and the Believe Foundation. It was worth the loss of sleep. You can see more pictures from the event on Flickr
