Ricky Martin performs at TWOxTWO for AIDS and Art gala
We were in love with Ricky Martin even before he came out. But we’re so glad the Grammy Award-winning pop star gives back to the LGBT community. Case in point: He’s the featured performer this weekend at TWOxTWO for AIDS and Art Gala, the annual fundraiser that has donated more than $60 million to HIV research over the years. The social event will take place at the beautiful, Richard Meier-designed home of Cindy and Howard Rachofsky.
