Jun 08, 2005 Little Flower Children’s honored world-renowned beauty and hair stylist, Frédéric Fekkai at the Second Annual Distinguished Humanitarian Award Dinner at the Metropolitan Club in Manhattan. Bill O’Shaughnessy served as the evening’s emcee and spoke of Fekkai’s “quiet and consistent generosity” to many worthwhile charities saying, “He is as smart in philanthropy as he is in business.” Lorraine Bracco was also on hand to congratulate Fekkai and introduced the evening’s guest speaker, Natalie Whittingham. Miss Whittingham has been in Little Flower’s foster care program for nine years and spoke of how through the help of the Little Flower agency she has been able to attend New York University on a scholarship, study abroad in Ghana and is currently preparing to take the entrance exams for law school. She credited Little Flower for her success saying, “Little Flower has given me the financial and emotional support to make my own dreams come true.” Charla Lawhon, Managing Editor of InStyle magazine and one of the event co-chairs, presented Fekkai with the “Distinguished Humanitarian Award” in recognition of his generous commitment to the Little Flower agency and his work helping children and families in need. Fekkai said he was “deeply touched and honored” to be acknowledged by an agency that “provides youth the proper foundation to grow.” Among the close to 350 guests of the evening were Lorraine Bracco, Uma Thurman and Andre Balacz, Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo, Cornelia Guest, Ines Rivero, Izak and Sarah Senbahar, Joseph and Jane Pontarelli, Larry and Denise Wohl, Charlotte and Vittorio Assaf and Lorne Michaels. The event helped to raise more than $200,000 to benefit the Little Flower agency.
