On Sunday, January 25, the annual fundraiser “The Classic” was held at the Boca Lago Country Club in Florida. Actor-comedian Damon Wayans and singer Davy Jones of The Monkees were just a few of the celebrities to participate in the event which raises money for Home Safe, a nonprofit organization helping abused and neglected children in South Florida.

Wayans and Jones were also joined by actor Jamie Foxx at the event gala, which was held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and hosted by legendary saxophone player Clarence Clemons from Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.

Jones was more than happy to help the cause and quick to recognize the outpouring of support. “In a time of economic change, there are a lot of people still supporting the things they believe in, and Clarence Clemons and friends that he invited and other business people … we just try to help and care when we have the time to get involved,” Jones said.

A model and a director were honored at two different charity events for their humanitarian work this week.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford was the honoree of the 10th annual Rick Weiss Humanitarian Awards in Palm Springs, California, earlier this week – an event that raised money for local charities such as Project New Hope, The Desert AIDS Project, the AIDS Assistance Program, the American Heart Association, Guides Dogs of the Desert, and the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center.

Crawford was presented with the award by Daisy Fuentes, and spoke of her brother’s death from leukemia at the age of four and her mother’s efforts to raise funds for research into the disease.
