Click here and find out what Justin Brown, Boyz II Men, and Condé Nast’s VP of Corporate Creative Services have in common. You may scratch your head and wonder what these three entities have to do with each other, but there’s more to this trifecta than meets the eye. They all know the importance of giving back, and most recently, they were a part of The 33rd Annual J.T. Martell Foundation Awards Gala honoring the humanitarian efforts of Larry Kellner, Michael Cohl and Dr. James Holland. Justin’s wife was kind enough to bring back some photos from what looked like a beautiful event.

A charity silent auction was held. Trips, experiences and other items were on the auction block with Continental Airlines (a company we partner with to ship internationally) stepping up as the official airline for each trip.

Boyz II Men were slated to perform and I was all over Twitter telling people how excited our CEO was to hear them live. I’m not the only one who wondered where the baritone member of the group was. Still, Boyz II Men is a classic R&B group and it’s good to see that they were on the bill for this philanthropic celebration.

The T.J. Martell Foundation raises money to fund Leukemia, Cancer and AIDS research at laboratories around the country. The contracting economy could mean less donations to our nation’s nonprofits. Visit theT.J. Martell Foundation site for more info or to make a donation.
