Children are the future! Baby2Baby returned to West Hollywood’s Pacific Design Center on November 8 for its annual Gala Presented by Paul Mitchell, delivering one of its most powerful nights to date.

The organization raised a record-breaking $18 million to support children living in poverty, while honoring Serena Williams with the prestigious “Giving Tree Award” for her leadership in maternal health. Alicia Keys presented the honor, and Ludacris closed the evening with a high-energy performance that brought the room to its feet.

More than 800 guests filled the venue, creating one of the most star-studded nights of the season. Notable attendees included Adam Scott, Anne Wojcicki, Anna Kendrick, Ayesha Curry, Byron Allen, Camila Alves McConaughey, Charlie Puth, Demi Lovato, Elliot Grainge, Evan Spiegel, Prince Harry, Jenna Dewan, Judd Apatow, Julianne Hough, Kaley Cuoco, Katie Lowes, Lauren London, Leslie Mann, Lizzo, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Trainor, Mellody Hobson, Miranda Kerr, Missy Elliott, Nicole Richie, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, Rachel Zoe, Sara Foster, Shay Mitchell, Simu Liu, Sofia Richie Grainge, Swizz Beatz, Tinashe, Tyler Perry, Vanessa Bryant, Will Ferrell, and many more.

The evening spotlighted Baby2Baby’s extraordinary reach. This year, the nonprofit served one million children across all 50 states and marked major milestones, including distributing its 500 millionth essential item. The organization also expanded its disaster relief work and announced a new national headquarters opening in Santa Monica in 2027. In a significant step toward addressing the maternal health crisis, Baby2Baby recently secured a historic $9 million New York State grant to provide essential postpartum items to 100,000 new mothers on Medicaid.

With emotional speeches, standout moments, and overwhelming generosity, the 2025 Baby2Baby Gala affirmed why the event remains one of the most impactful nights in philanthropy.
