2017 Sean Penn & Friends Haiti Rising Gala Raises $37 Million toward the J/P Haitian Relief Organization

Saturday night, Hollywood came together to support Sean Penn and his J/P Haitian Relief Organization at the annual Haiti Rising Gala at the Montage in Beverly Hills. In the room, a record $37 million was committed to J/P HRO and their initiatives in Haiti, which included contributions from the Government of France, The Parker Foundation and World Bank, along with proceeds from the live auction. Sean Penn continues his passionate work for Haiti, and the A-list moguls and stars are standing with him to shine a light and raise much needed funds. J/P HRO’s current initiatives include Hurricane Matthew response and the Haiti Takes Root reforestation coalition. Nick Jonas announced a partnership with J/P HRO and his organization Beyond Type One, to serve those with diabetes in Haiti. Those in attendance included Beck, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeffrey Tambor, Emile Hirsch, Edward Norton, Jason Segel, and many more.
