On October 15, 2013, the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) will present its 12th annual An Enduring Vision benefit at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

The EJAF is thrilled to welcome back award-winning CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who will host the event for a seventh consecutive year. Elton and David will present EJAF’s Enduring Vision Awards to Sandra Lee, Ronald O. Perelman, and Howard Rose, and the Foundation’s very first Founder’s Award to Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Sandra Lee is a long-time supporter of EJAF and other HIV/AIDS and LGBT civil rights organizations, the No Kid Hungry campaign, and UNICEF's Los Angeles chapter. Ronald O. Perelman is a major philanthropist who has made numerous multi-million dollar gifts to health, education, civic, and arts organizations across the country. Howard Rose is a founding member of EJAF’s Board and an integral part of our success from the very beginning.

Secretary Clinton’s ground-breaking speech in Geneva declaring that “gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights” and the bold plan for an AIDS-free generation she presented at the International AIDS Conference epitomize EJAF’s concept of “an enduring vision of a world without AIDS.”

Elton and David serve as the honorary chairs for An Enduring Vision, joined by fellow Co-Chairs Bill and Tani Austin, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, Johnny and Edwina Barbis, Jennifer Bayer Michaels, Joseph W. Blount, John Demsey, Jennifer Kelly Dominiquini, Frank Giustra, Tim Hanlon and Anthony Klatt, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness, Diana Jenkins, Donna Karan, Robert K. Kraft, Leonard A. Lauder, Peter Luukko, Jay Marciano, Tamara Mellon, OBE, Leslie Moonves, James L. Nederlander, Martha Nelson, Melissa Ormond, Michael Rapino, Lily Safra, Ingrid Sischy and Sandra Brant, Alexandra Stanton and Sam Natapoff, Edward Walson, and Roger Woolsey.
