Other details: Last night, the Health and Humanitarian Aid Foundation (HHAF) hosted the 2013 Preston Robert Tisch Awards Gala aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. HHAF’s annual Gala is the biggest fundraising event of the year, with over 500 attendees that support the organization’s mission of providing medical and humanitarian aid to those who suffer from famine, poverty and disaster in Ghana. The event, which was hosted by Bruce Beck, sports anchor at WNBC-TV, featured live and silent auctions as well as appearances by former and current NFL stars.

In addition to fundraising, HHAF honored its first female honoree, Sanya Richards-Ross, and toy industry icon, Neil Friedman, for their efforts in supporting charitable organizations. Both Richard-Ross and Friedman pride themselves in their philanthropic work and devote themselves to worthy causes, like HHAF.
