Guests had the opportunity to view Cole’s “Into the Light” exhibition and enjoyed exclusive performances by Love146 co-founder Lamont Heibert, musical artist Abigail Zsiga and the musical group The Broadway Dolls. The event also featured a live auction for a pair of Baume & Mercier watches with commemorative Love146 engravings and Baume & Mercier CEO Alain Zimmermann and Tourneau CEO Jim Seusswill presented a call-to-action check for $25,000 to Love146 to support charity’s mission to restore hope to those who have lost it.
