Dear Friends,

It’s an incredible honor to invite you to view the artwork available for auction to benefit The Lunchbox Fund: http://paddle8.com/auctions/lunchboxfund <http://paddle8.com/auctions/lunchboxfund>

The artwork is from respected and highly collectible artists who agreed to very low starting bids to ensure lots of opportunity to buy. 
From the bottom of my heart I ask that you visit the auction on Paddle8 and support our mission to feed impoverished schoolchildren in southern Africa.   Even bidding on the most modestly priced work means we can change lives. 
 
For those unable to attend the dinner (I apologize! We sold out all 86 seats before invitations even hit mailboxes) on November 5th, please note that together with PRADA and my co-chairs Aimee Mullins, Chef Andrew Carmellini, Chuck Close and Olivia Wilde, I welcome you to the cocktail party portion of the evening from 6 to 8pm in the newly redesigned and highly curated Smyth Hotel in Tribeca. We will be serving amazing wines from the Stellenbosch region, specialty cocktails and small bites from Carmellini's yet-to-open Little Park restaurant. There are still about a dozen tickets available for that portion of the evening so let me know ASAP. 

Please note we've started a waiting list for the dinner portion for friends in case we are able to squeeze in an additional table.
Many thanks to all of you for your incredible support and friendship. 

Much love,
Topaz

PS. Exciting news! We have also confirmed a portrait commission with hand calligraphy by the brilliant Shirin Neshat, one of the most powerful and respected artists working today!
