AWARENESS: SILVER ROSE WEEKEND 30TH ANNIVERSARY

Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, Jamie Foxx and Halle Berry (who chairs the annual event) pose for a photo at the 2010 Silver Rose Gala & Auction held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

The Jenesse Center event honors those who help in the fight against domestic violence and helps raise money for women and children in need.

“It’s important for everyone who has a voice, who has a chance to have sort of a global or national spotlight to use that power for good. To just sit on it would be a waste of what you’ve been given,” Halle said.
