With every year comes a new Cannes Film Festival and with every Cannes Film Festival comes the prestigious amfAR Gala!

The annual amfAR Gala is always a star-studded event and this years gala did not disappoint. With celebs such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Will Smith, Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Chastain, Eva Longoria, and Nicole Kidman it was truly a night to remember.

With all the glitz and glamour of the event it's far too easy to lose sight of why everyone gathers together for such an occasion. The American Foundation for AIDS Research (a.m.f.A.R.) was founded in 1985 and is dedicated to ending the global AIDS epidemic through innovative research.

"amfAR is one of the world's leading nonprofit organizations dedicated to the support of AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and the advocacy of evidence-based HIV/AIDS public policies. YOU are essential to our efforts! Please join in our fight against HIV/AIDS by signing up for our email alerts and expressing your support for amfAR's advocacy campaigns. Act today and help bring us closer to a world without AIDS."
