Providing medical supplies and healthcare, Americares offers emergency relief to more than 160 countries. The fundraiser will further Americares’ mission to “increase access to health in times of disaster and every day.” After the benefit, a group experienced an airlift to El Salvador to witness the nonprofit’s work firsthand. More than 350 supporters were entertained by Ross Mathews, an Emmy-Winning TV Host and Producer, who served as emcee. Presenters included Americares Board Member and Actor, Director, Producer Tony Goldwyn and Americares Board Member and CNN Anchor and National Correspondent Erica Hill. americares.org
