The Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 26th annual Academy Awards Viewing Party, supported by Presenting Sponsor BVLGARI, raised $5.9 million for the global effort to end AIDS.

This year, Presenting Sponsor BVLGARI brought illusionist David Jarre, a BVLGARI Ambassador, to astound guests with his special brand of magic during the course of the evening.  Co-Sponsor BBVA Compass made it possible for the world-renowned Roca Brothers of the Michelin three-star restaurant El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, to design and prepare the magnificent gala dinner enjoyed by guests as they viewed the 90th Academy Awards telecast.  The dinner was followed by a lively auction conducted by Alexander Gilkes of Paddle8, and then the ground-breaking new band Greta Van Fleet took the stage for an exciting performance.

All of us at EJAF are thrilled with the results of this signature fundraising event, and we are deeply grateful to all of the individuals and organizations that helped to make this benefit such an incredible success.
