La Toya Jackson, CeeLo Green, Caitlyn Jenner and Iranian superstar Googoosh were among the celebrities spotted at Face Forward International’s Annual Gala held last week at Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The posh event celebrated survivors from six different countries and hosted over 450 guests, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Face Forward is a charitable organization offering reconstructive surgeries for survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking and other acts of violence, which also includes veterans and children of war in their international outreach efforts. The goal of the annual event is to unite communities from Hollywood to raise funds and awareness for the work of the organization.

Honoree La Toya Jackson hosted the event and shared her personal experience with domestic abuse by an ex who almost beat her to death. Last year’s Beacon of Hope winner Caitlyn Jenner passed her award to former President of 20th Century Fox, Scott Neeson who founded the Cambodian Children’s Fund. Operation Underground Railroad was also honored for their work with human trafficking. Former award winner Byron Scott was on hand to help the auction raise money.

The party got jamming with Grammy winning artist, CeeLo Green who had the crowd on its feet for a full concert of his greatest hits. CeeLo welcomed performers and patients on stage with him to celebrate their survival. The most poignant performance of the evening came from television and recording artist star Major and he serenaded the doctors and patients on stage with his hit “Shine Bright.” As he sang to each patient the lyric, “you are beautiful” there was barely a dry eye in the venue and on stage. Powerbase Management artists, Auburn Road a breakout country group who has toured with Rascal Flatts and Toby Keith opened the night and Sonna Rele debuted two new songs showcasing her incredible range.
