Samsung’s 9th Annual Four Seasons of Hope Gala

Samsung’s 9th Annual Four Seasons of Hope Gala was on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at Cipriani in New York City.  The event, hosted by Regis and Joy Philbin, will return for their sixth Samsung gala, and features a roster of celebrities including a special performance by American actress, singer, record producer, and fashion designer, Jennifer Lopez, and her husband five-time Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, Marc Anthony.

Beginning in 2002, Samsung starting working with several elite athletes including sport legends Dan Marino, Boomer Esiason, Arnold Palmer, Eli Manning and NASCAR’s Jimmie Johnson in addition to civic personalities like Rudy Giuliani and many of Samsung’s business and retail partners to raise more than $25 million for more than 300 schools, community-based foundations, and charities throughout the U.S. Given this history and recent studies that have shown how 1 in 5 children* in the United States suffer from a chronic illness, ranging from asthma to cancer and developmental disabilities and how 25%** of secondary school kids cannot read or understand the material in their textbooks, Samsung felt it was time to enhance its efforts of giving back to the community. These statistics prove that there are a large amount of today’s children who are going to be less productive than they could be as adults and Samsung believes it can continue to help make a difference.
