Michael Bolton Charities recently held their annual Chords of Hope fundraiser to celebrate 25 years of supporting children and at-risk women. Over 200 guests gathered at this year’s event, which featured a special performance by Michael Bolton.

Founded in 1993, MBC has raised $10m+ since its inception and supported over 100 organizations across the country. Centene Charitable Foundation was the Presenting Sponsor, with Gold sponsor BMI, and media sponsor Moffly Media, among many others.

Chris Wragge, the WCBS-TV News anchor, served as Master of Ceremonies and Jen Danzi and Alan Oyugi served as Co-Chairs for the event. Honored was Igor Tulchinsky, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of WorldQuant, a global quantitative asset management firm.

Says Bolton (seen at right with BMI's VP Creative Charlie Feldman), “Connecting with organizations and initiatives that provide education, safety, and advocacy has been one of the most unexpected and most rewarding aspects of my career and life.”
