The thousand dollar a plate affair boasted all the tony trappings. Private mansion, beefed-up security, major Hollywood star-power, a flotilla of ambassadors and a humanitarian cause (global peace) that impacts everyone, everywhere.
The evening’s event on Saturday, July 25, supported Sharon Stone’s upcoming film, “The Principle,” which was designed to help heal the problem of online bullying that hurts millions of children, teenagers and adults worldwide.
At the posh estate in Potomac, Maryland, of philanthropist Shahin Mafi, who spearheads the Azar Foundation for Children of the World, the 57 year old movie icon and man-magnet, Sharon Stone, spoke of “Unity Consciousness” and “Respect for the Planet.” The single mother of 3 adopted children, Stone sat at a center table chatting most of the time with table partner Dr. Susan Blumenthal, former U.S. Assistant Surgeon General. Stone survived a life-threatening brain aneurysm in 2001, and spent two years learning to walk and talk again.
Afterwards, the 100 guests—dining al fresco under a white tent festooned with chandeliers—viewed a screening of the short film “Admissions” about war and the afterlife, created by John Viscount, co-founder of PeaceNow.com, which is gathering one billion signatures to enact a new UN Global Resolution that creates Ministries and Department of Peace in governments worldwide.
