Over the years, Black Tie Dinner has attracted an array of high-profile politicians, Hollywood celebrities, and other public figures, both as program entertainment and as attendees of the dinner. Examples include Billy Porter, Debra Messing, Connie Britton, Goldie Hawn, Megan Mullally, Geena Davis, Sharon Stone, Martin Sheen and Lily Tomlin. Black Tie Dinner is often mistaken for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) "gala" dinners which are held in many major cities around the nation. The Black Tie Dinner event was originally organized solely to support the Human Right Camping Fund (HRCF) that later became HRC, and was run for that purpose for a number of years. That concept would become the model for the HRC Black Tie Dinners around the country. While the Human Rights Campaign Foundation receives approximately one half of the proceeds from the dinner, Black Tie Dinner, Inc. is an independent 501(c)(3) organization with its own Board of Directors. Black Tie Dinner also has the distinction of benefiting local beneficiaries. (en) |
