The non-profit organization, which founder Adam Braun set up to ensure success of international education, builds schools and promotes education throughout the world. Guests of the gala included Ambassador Sophia Bush alongside honorees Dan Cahill and Scott Braun. The Gala has been known to raise over a million dollars to go toward the organization. We had the chance to talk to Sophia Bush at the event and get her thought on the Gala, other projects, and her amazing sense of style: [Scooter Braun, Yael Cohen, Tehillah Voslevitz, Adam Braun, Sophia Bush, Dan Fredinburg, Brad Haugen] Guests included: Senator-elect Cory Booker, Sophia Bush, Adam Braun, Scott Braun, Cody Simpson, Yael Cohen, Asher Roth, Ty Pennington, Erin Fetherston, Josh Kushner, Gabe Saporta, Serinda Swan, TJ Holmes, Katherine Schwarzenegger, Neil Blumenthal, Gary Vaynerchuk, Steve Bartels, The Cahill Family and Ken Howery. Sophia BushWhat does being an Ambassador mean to you? Well for me, Pencils of Promise isn't work. It's family, it's friends, it's incredible to have a home base that we can come to and say "how are we going to work on global education? How are we going to ensure that kids around the world have access to expanding their minds and enriching their opportunities in life?" You're also busy with a new project, Chicago PD. How do you have time to keep up with all of this? I always feel like I'm letting something fall through the cracks, but at the end of the day, you do your best, try as hard as you can, keep in touch with as many people as you can, and try to figure it all out. It's a juggling act for all of us; I don't think there's ever a perfect recipe. Of course, we have to know who are you wearing tonight? I'm wearing Escada. I can't keep up with fashion as much as I want but still making an effort.
