The Annabel’s Amazon Gala 2024 brought together a dazzling array of celebrities, philanthropists, and environmentalists, raising £2.4 million for the conservation of the Amazon rainforest and community initiatives in Brazil. Held at the iconic Annabel’s private members club in Mayfair, the event featured a stellar performance by Gary Barlow and witty hosting by Rory Bremner, adding charm to an evening dedicated to environmental advocacy. Highlights included an artful club façade inspired by the rainforest, bespoke Amazon-themed cocktails, and a silent auction led by Simon de Pury, offering exclusive experiences and artworks by luminaries such as Damien Hirst and David Hockney.
Funds raised will support The Caring Family Foundation’s (TCFF) comprehensive work in Brazil, including the establishment of 14 community seedling nurseries and expanded healthcare access through a partnership with Associação Médicos da Floresta. TCFF’s efforts aim to empower Indigenous communities, ensure food security, and safeguard the Amazon’s biodiversity, while addressing challenges like deforestation and climate change. Since its inception in 2019, the foundation has planted over two million trees, delivered two million meals, and provided vital domestic abuse services in the UK and Brazil.
Under the leadership of Richard and Patricia Caring, Annabel’s has transformed from a bastion of exclusivity to a beacon of philanthropy, leveraging its influence to address global issues. The gala exemplifies how luxury can align with meaningful advocacy, creating a ripple effect of positive change. As supermodel and environmental advocate Arizona Muse remarked, “The Amazon’s future is our future.” Annabel’s continues to blend its legendary glamour with a steadfast commitment to sustainability and social impact.
