A Look at the Project Angel Food Awards

Debra Messing, Charlie Sheen and more in attendance.

Gorgeous Debra Messing, star of TV hit show “Will & Grace” received the Founders Award as a long time supporter of Project Angel Food. This non-profit organization feeds thousands of individuals living with HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses. Also honored was celebrity hair stylist Chaz Dean, who provided lots of his fab hair products to the Standing Room Only guests. The huge parking lot of Project Angel Food headquarters was transformed into a venue called “Under the Stars” and extra star-power was provided by Charlie Sheen, Cheryl Tiegs and curvaceous actress Charo – all who spoke about their dedication to the cause.

Others feasting on the sumptuous dinner, provided by Rock Sugar Southeast Asian Kitchen’s Executive Chef Mohan Ismall, included Carrie Ann Inaba (“Dancing With the Stars”), Joely Fisher, and Goya Robles (“Get Shorty”). Broadway Star Sheryl Lee Ralph, Project Angel Food Trustee, paid tribute to “Angels Among Us” in recognition of clients, supporters and volunteers who are now with us in spirit. Since 1989 Project Angel Food has prepared 11 million meals and delivers 11,000 meals a week to men, women and children living with critical illness. Healthy, nutritious meals are delivered to those suffering from AIDS, cancer, kidney failure, heart disease and other illnesses.
