More than US$3.5 million was raised for Aids research at the third edition of the annual amfAR gala dinner. The star-studded guest list included actress Charlize Theron, supermodel Naomi Campbell and singer-songwriter Mark Ronson. David Tang presented this year’s guest of honour, Pansy Ho, with the amfAR Award for Courage and described her commitment to the fight against Aids as “nothing short of admirable.”
