On Thursday, February 16, 2017, the Women’s Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) Honorary Chairs Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks welcomed guests to An Unforgettable Evening presented by Saks Fifth Avenue. After a three-year hiatus, the event returned to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, with proceeds benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund. Hosted by comedian and breast cancer survivor Tig Notaro, the evening included cocktails, a dinner, and an awards presentation. Renowned fashion designer and film director Tom Ford received the 2017 Courage Award for his continued support and dedication to raising awareness for the disease. Coldplay’s Chris Martin took the stage for a surprise performance, opening with a soulful rendition of Wham!’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, and included his take on Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne, Prince’s Raspberry Beret, and the David Bowie classic Life on Mars. The evening closed with a special musical performance by multi-platinum selling pop star Jason Derulo, who sang a four-song set including hits Trumpets, Wiggle, Talk Dirty, and Want To Want Me. The event raised over $1.8 million for the cause.
