The Elizabeth Taylor Night of Compassion: Meeting the Moment

Please join us on September 18, 2025 for The Elizabeth Taylor Night of Compassion: Meeting the Moment.

Following the 5th anniversary of ETAF’s The Elizabeth Taylor Ball to End AIDS, the ETAF team spent some time envisioning the next phase of our Los Angeles Anchor Event. Particularly at this moment in time, one of Elizabeth’s core values seems to stand out—compassion. Thus, we have created the Elizabeth Taylor Night of Compassion, and we believe now is the time to “meet the moment” through the demonstration of kindness, compassion, and generosity.

We are thrilled to present American businesswoman, fashion designer, art collector, activist, and New York Times best-selling author Tina Knowles, with The Elizabeth Taylor Commitment to End AIDS Award.

The evening will be hosted by Emmy award-winning host, writer, and producer, Melvin Robert. Guests will enjoy a reception and culinary experience, an exciting live performance, and an exclusive look at items from The Elizabeth Taylor Archive including highlights from Elizabeth Taylor’s personal life, film career, and philanthropy.

It promises to be a wonderful gathering of supporters and community, and we earnestly hope you will be with us.  We are enormously grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, Gilead Sciences, Inc., who has been with us since the inception of our very first event.
