THE 20th ANNUAL DESIGNCARE GALA is an annual fundraising event produced by actress Holly Robinson-Peete and her husband Rodney Peete through their nonprofit organization, The HollyRod Foundation (HRF), and benefits those with Parkinson’s disease and autism.

What began 20 years ago as an intimate mixer, DesignCare has grown to become the most exclusive, celebrity charity events of the summer. The 2018 DesignCare Gala will celebrate their 20th anniversary at a Private Estate in Malibu, CA. Always a star-studded event, the evening will feature a silent auction, special musical performance by legendary soul-funk band Morris Day and the Time, as well as a Spring/Summer 2018 runway show from a soon-to-be announced designer.

The Gala will honor Earvin "Magic" Johnson with the “HollyRod Humanitarian Award”, Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr with the “Matthew T. Robinson, Jr. Award of Courage”, Microsoft with the “HollyRod Corporate Compassion Award”, Artist Stephen Wiltshire (British Architectural Artist with autism) with the “HollyRod Champion Award” and Lisa Ackerman with the “Karen E. Smith, Angel on a Path Award”.

Event sponsors include American Airlines, Target, Cigna, Hallmark Channel, Outback Steakhouse & Wen by Chaz Dean.

Hosted by actress/philanthropist Holly Robinson Peete (“Chicago Fire,” “21 Jump Street”, “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper”) and her husband Rodney Peete (retired NFL quarterback, Sports Host, “Meet the Peetes”), the event is always star-studded and well attended.
