5th Annual Face of Today Gala
Rosewood Hotel Georgia
March 7, 2014


More than 400 guests attended the 5th annual Face of Today Gala, presented by Burberry, in the ballroom at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. Guests entered the hotel along a paparazzi wall, and explored silent and live auction items, with a chance to win a $15,000 diamond ring raffle courtesy of Cavalier Jewelers. Canapes, a lavish oyster bar, a Veuve Clicquot champagne bar and a Belvedere Vodka ice bar were available for guests as they were entertained by a live performance from Vancouver’s Famous Players 10-piece band.

“The last five years have turned my dreams into reality,” said Face of Today founder and president Kasondra Cohen at the gala. “From launching Face Of Today’s Manhattan chapter to starting a wake-board camp to the overwhelming love and support at this year’s gala, I am thrilled with the impact that FOT has made in helping underprivileged youth achieve their potential. Our calculators are tallying up the results—I cannot wait to share the donations raised.”
