Baby2Baby hosted their fifth annual Baby2Baby Gala on November 12 at 3Labs in Culver City. The organization brought together heavy hitters and celebs including Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Stevie Wonder, Rachel Zoe, Kelly Rowland, Molly Sims, Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner and Christina Aguilera to raise a record 2.9 million dollars to support its work providing essential items to low-income families.

The organization honored Jennifer Garner for her support of Baby2Baby and ongoing dedication to children in need around the world. Matthew McConaughey presented Garner with the Giving Tree Award, which the organization awards annually to a mother who uses her position in the public eye to advocate on behalf of the low-income children the organization serves.

The evening also featured remarks from Baby2Baby’s star studded supporters including Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Rachel Zoe, Kelly Rowland, and Molly Sims who spoke about the dangers low-income families face without access to basic necessities and applauded the organization’s leadership in uniting the Los Angeles community and beyond on behalf of a philanthropic movement to support the children Baby2Baby serves and help end the cycle of poverty.

Over the past five years, Baby2Baby has distributed 27 million essential items to children in need. The event represented the culmination of a five-year commitment to supporting low-income children and a milestone for the organization, which has grown from a grassroots volunteer program into one of the most influential children’s organization over the past five years.
