Pamela Joyner's Masked Ball 2009

posted November 10, 2009 12:52PM

On Saturday evening, October 24, 2009, Pamela Joyner and Fred Giuffrida opened the doors to their Presidio Heights home once again to raise funds for a worthy cause. With generous matching benefactor The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Joyner and Giuffrida’s 3rd annual Masked Ball raised more than a half million dollars to benefit Survivor Corps. Complete with jeweled masks and an atmosphere highlighted with this year’s theme of white and gold, Joyner and Giuffrida hosted the event in a unique simulcast setting with three additional cities: Los Angeles, New York and London.

The evening would not have been complete without the generosity shown by Pamela and her husband Fred, currently on the board of Survivor Corps, in hosting such an amazing and honorable event. Kudos to Amanda Paxel and her husband Gus Araya, for their extraordinary efforts in reaching out to 2000 young patrons through an internet campaign, resulting in 400 new donors and over $30,000 raised for the foundation. Guests celebrated the evening with wine, hors d’oeuvres and a fantastic live auction held in conjunction with the simulcast hosts, Tracy Allen in Los Angeles and Reginald Van Lee in New York. London’s celebration included a silent auction.
