Gabrielle's Angel Foundation celebrated its first-ever Midsummer Party, honoring fashion designer Andrew Warren, last night at the Fleur Room in midtown Manhattan.

The benefit, “Where Art & Music Meets Cancer,” was established from the desire of young entrepreneurs and professionals to give back and make a difference in the fight against cancer. Proceeds raised from the evening will benefit the Foundation’s music therapy program for cancer patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
