Fashion Group International 22nd Annual Night Of The Stars

This evening Sandy was a recipient of an honorary humanitarian award for her charitable contributions to the American Red Cross at the Fashion Group International 22nd Annual Night Of The Stars. The ceremony took place at the Big Apple in LA.

This is from the LA Splash Magazine:
Sri Lankan Ambassador, Bernard A.B. Goonetilleke delivered the evening’s most benevolent presentation for the Humanitarian Award. “A lot of people have a difficult time pronouncing my name. I don’t blame them. Sometimes I do too,” quipped the dignitary. He retold how Sandra Bullock had come to the aid of countless victims in the face of horrific disasters, both natural and manmade, lending her financial support to the affected families of the September 11th terrorist attacks and the devastating Southeast Asia tsunami tragedies. Ms. Bullock made one million-dollar contributions to the Red Cross during the aftermath of each. Ambassador Goonetilleke thanked her “most profusely for her example.” The award-winning actress who was beautiful in a Valentino lace gown said she found it “oddly overwhelming.” She poked fun at herself, saying the fashion community could rest easy as she was not there to receive a fashion icon award. Ms. Bullock went on to give special thanks to “the American Red Cross, homegrown organizations, FGI, and all the designers who will hopefully continue to design outfits that make her top half look bigger than her bottom half.”
