Elton John has garnered support from some of the world's
most philanthropic icons in the entertainment industry and
with the recent endorsement Rebecca Wang, she continues to
add to that distinguished list. A key benefactor at the 19th
Annual Oscar Viewing Party, Rebecca Wang resumed her
position again for a second-straight year this year as
benefactor of the Elton John AIDS Foundation Viewing Party
on Sunday night. This annual Oscar Viewing Party has taken
place since 1992 and has been a showcase of elegance and
generosity for two decades as Hollywood's most iconic stars
gather during the Academy Awards to donate their time and
money to fight the epidemic of HIV/AIDS. Following Elton's
viewing party, Rebecca Wang attended the exclusive Vanity
Fair party as guest of the magazine's long time editor
Graydon Carter.
Rebecca Wang, based out of London and Los Angeles, is an
executive producer, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. Her
first Hollywood film, PASSION PLAY, features renowned actors
including Academy Award Nominees Mickey Rourke (THE
WRESTLER) and Bill Murray (LOST IN TRANSLATION), accompanied
by actress Megan Fox (TRANSFORMERS). Her previous charitable
efforts have spanned health, humanitarian aid, and education
in the arts, making her a perfect fit with Elton's crusade.
Ms. Wang, an avid supporter of organizations such as the
International Red Cross, British Red Cross, and the Prince's
Drawing School, is delighted to support the Elton John AIDS
Foundation for a second year. Wang is also a devoted patron
of the arts. A patron of the Royal Academy of Arts, the
National Gallery, the Serpentine Gallery, and the Tate
Modern, which collectively contain some of the most prized
art in world, featuring works from Leonardo da Vinci,
Vincent Van Gogh, and
Andy Warhol.
