(L-R, standing) Reeve Foundation’s Champions Committee members Will Reeve, Alexandra Reeve Givens, Matthew Reeve, actor Hayden Christensen, and Francesco Clark of Clark Botanicals
It was a night of inspiration earlier this week at the luxe Boom Boom Room where the Reeve Champions Summer Party was held. The fundraising event was organized by The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation’s Champions Committee representatives Alexandra Reeve Givens and Matthew Reeve (daughter and son of the late Christopher Reeve), Francesco Clark of Clark Botanicals, Elisa Lipsky-Karasz of Harper’s Bazaar and DIOR BEAUTY. Linda Wells (the editor-in-chief of Allure Magazine and actor Hayden Christensen (most recently in New York, I Love You and Takers) were also on hand to special guest host the evening’s festivities.
The minute I received the invite to attend a performance by Rosie’s Kids, I pictured 5-year-olds in tutus, and sunflower hats singing “You Are My Sunshine” followed by a medley of preschool classics. The way I saw it I’d smile and enjoy a cute little performance by cute little kids and while still riding high on all that sweetness I’d attend the after-party at the penthouse and “treat” myself to a little grown-up liquid candy supplied by sponsor Devotion Vodka. Imagine my surprise at being floored by a troupe of super talented young adults and pre-teens who in just one hour managed to restore my faith in the performing arts.

When I was a little girl I used to stand in front of the mirror with a hairbrush in hand and a towel on my head and imitate Chaka Khan.
