Steve Chase Awards 2020
The Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards is attended by more than 2,000 of the Coachella Valley’s most fashionable humanitarians making red carpet arrivals and the after-party events unto themselves. In an article on DAP’s website, they share that for 26 years, the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards has been honoring Humanitarians from all corners of the globe. They are people who radiate compassion—who seem to have been born for a higher purpose. Their example reminds us that everyone can make a positive difference in the lives of others. Since their very beginning, over 35 years ago, DAP has listened to the community they serve and taken its lead in solving tomorrow's challenges.
This year’s honorees share DAP’s vision of health equity and justice. They are men and women who’ve led and continue to inspire others. According to Desert AIDS Project (DAP), their largest fundraising event which is named after one of their earliest financial supporters, the designer Steve Chase—the 26th Annual Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards—will honor Hank Plante, Garry Kief, and Ambassador Deborah L. Birx M.D.
The anticipated headliner Kristin Chenowith, a longtime friend of DAP, helped everyone in the ballroom of the Palm Springs Convention Center get in touch with their humanity with an unforgettable performance.
It is indeed a great honor to be associated with this bunch of amazing people!
