The Flawless Foundation Celebrates Fourth Anniversary With Tipper Gore

The Flawless Foundation recently celebrated its fourth anniversary at the annual Perfection Party. The event recognized former second lady of the United States, author and mental health advocate Tipper Gore, who served as Honorary Chair. Fashion model, philanthropic activist and author Sarah DeAnna also attended the festivities.

Funds raised at the annual dinner will benefit the Flawless Foundation’s work both nationally and in New York City. Part of the funds will provide training in Collaborative Problem Solving at Bank Street College of Education, which can impact thousands of children for every one professional who is trained. Proceeds will also go towards an awareness campaign and yoga and meditation programs in New York City public schools and juvenile detention programs.

“There is a wealth of research that demonstrates how genetic, social and environmental factors all contribute to mental illness. For the 15 million children living with these challenges, a holistic approach is the best medicine,” said Tipper Gore. “The Flawless Foundation provides such services, and their efforts will give more children hope for a brighter future.”

In attendance with Tipper Gore were her four children Karenna, Sarah, Kristin, and Albert. Other guests included Pierre Hauser, Rachel Goldstein, photographer Rick Guidotti, and jewelry designer Landon Slane, among others. Linea and Cinda Johnson donated copies of their new book “Perfect Chaos” for the guests. The book chronicles a daughter’s journey to survive bipolar disorderand her mother’s struggle to save her.
