The event, themed “Arabian Nights,” kicks off at 6:00 p.m. ET with a celebrity-studded red carpet, followed by cocktails, dinner, a fashion show, and both silent and live auctions, with music by fashion industry favorite DJ Johnny Dynell. Co-Mistresses of Ceremony are Soledad O’Brien, Anchor and Special Correspondent for CNN and Goodwill Ambassador for Hearts of Gold; and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’s Tamara Tunie, an accomplished producer and director as well as a member of Hearts of Gold’s esteemed Advisory Board.

The Gala’s fashion show features fall looks from Beth Bowley, Judith & Charles (formerly Teenflo), Tracy Reese, Plenty by Tracy Reese, and Transit, styled by Hearts of Gold Founder & Executive Director Deborah Koenigsberger. Koenigsberger also owns the Noir et Blanc…bis boutique at 7 West 25th Street in Manhattan.

“2011 has been a tremendous year for Hearts of Gold,” said Koenigsberger. “We opened our new thrift boutique, The Thrifty HoG; launched our first-ever ‘Kids Walk for Kids’ fundraiser in Riverside Park; and relocated our offices above the new Noir et Blanc…bis store. We have so much to celebrate at this year’s Gala, but with growth always comes the need for more resources. We encourage the community to attend our Gala or donate, for our city’s homeless moms and kids,” Koenigsberger added.

Proceeds from the Gala, which is Hearts of Gold’s main source of funding, support the 900 mothers and children in residence annually in three shelters “adopted” by Hearts of Gold: Nazareth Housing, Nazareth House Harlem, and Semiperm HDFC. Since its inception in 1996, Hearts of Gold has helped more than 10,000 homeless New York City mothers and children exit the city’s shelters and thrive on their own.

Individual Gala ticket packages are available from $350 - $1,000. Tickets to the after-party, which runs from 10:30 p.m. - 1:00 a.m. and includes open bar and dancing, are $75.
