Beyonce Fights Against AIDS

Beyonce was on hand last night to lend to support to amfAR, a foundation for AIDS research, along with amfAR’s Chairman of the Campaign for AIDS Research, Sharon Stone. Last night’s AmFAR Gala honored the work of Whoopi Goldberg and others for their vital and distinctive contributions to the global struggle against AIDS. The event was held at NYC’s Cipriani restaurant in Times Square.

Said Sharon Stone: “I’ve been doing it (her AIDS work) 11 years. I feel very emotional about it. I had a big crying breakdown in the tub an hour ago.” She also received the inaugural Roy London Award, which is named after her late acting coach.

Said Beyonce: “Young people need to have awareness of this disease.”
