Stars of Broadway, film and TV, alongside music superstars and politicians recently gathered to honor the 75th birthday of Dionne Warwick-mother, friend, humanitarian, and icon as well as celebrate the launch of her non-profit organization.
Acclaimed Music Executive Clive Davis was the first to greet her, quickly followed by U.S. Representative Charles Rangel who bestowed a proclamation-the first of many to follow. Her son David Elliot serenaded her beautifully with a “happy birthday” message straight from everyone’s heart. Soul singer Chuck Jackson presented her with a bouquet of flowers as she was greeted by an array of guests that included Cissy Houston, Leslie Uggams, Freddie Washington, Melba Moore, renowned music director Ray Chew, among many more.
As well, there were large placards announcing the launch of The Dionne Warwick Foundation, a nonprofit organization promoting access to resources and information that empowers health and well-being. As a United Nations Global Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization, and a United States Ambassador of Health, she has long been a visionary in holistic health and wellness. The foundation’s launch shows her continued forward motion, culminating decades of advocacy for the world’s well-being, as well as her gift and resources as an entertainer, into an energetic graceful new beginning.
Congrats Dionne!
