Also receiving honors the same evening will be award-winning Dominican Fashion Designer Sully Bonnelly and Grammy-winning Talent Manager and Producer, Omer Pardillo Cid.

The New Perspectives Dominican Republic Photo Exhibit will showcase a selection of approximately 20 aerial images from the GFDD publication “New Perspectives: Dominican Republic”. The result of an international interdisciplinary team, including GFDD Executive Director Natasha Despotovic and Dominican-based photographer Anne Casale, the aerial photographs of scenes throughout the DR show the country in a way that it has never before been seen. The photo book will be available for sale at the benefit with all proceeds from sales to be going to The DREAM Project.
