The foundation for AIDS research holds an annual event in Antibes, France during the Cannes Film Festival. It's known as the AmfAR Gala and it may be one of the most prestigious parties and is held in one of the nicest hotels in the world. So, obviously, it's a big deal. 

Celebrities like Will Smith, Jessica Chastain, Nicole Kidman, Nikki Minaj, Leonardo DiCaprio, and so many more that it would take up the whole article if I tried to list them. The main goal of this event is to raise money for AIDES research, and that is something that these high-profile celebrities do not forget about. This is dear to all their hearts and everyone who attends this event is generous with their money as they bid off art pieces to raise money. 

It was an honor to be able to volunteer at this event and witness something that is so integral to the Cannes Film Festival way of life.
