Robert “Bob” Hart, president and CEO of TruAmerica Multifamily will be honored by Chrysalis at its 2021 Chrysalis Night In virtual gala, designed to raise funds and awareness for a proven solution that helps people experiencing homelessness and economic barriers to the workforce by providing the resources and support needed to prepare for, find, and retain employment.
Bob has served on the Chrysalis Board for 17 years, half as chairman and in that time, has helped drive the phenomenal growth of the organization and ability to meet the needs of the community.
“Bob is a true Chrysalis champion,” said Chrysalis President and CEO Mark Loranger. “Bob was Board Chair as Chrysalis navigated the Great Recession in 2008-2009, and with his help, we are now navigating the pandemic recovery. Bob is a builder - bringing people together to create something better than the sum of its parts. He has connected Chrysalis with a huge network of donors, hiring partners, volunteers, and other champions, and he has raised millions to further our mission to change lives through jobs. We are thrilled to honor Bob Hart at Chrysalis Night In 2021.”
Other honorees incude Demi Weitz, Co-Creator, RWQuarantunes, and Richard Weitz, Partner, WME & Co-Creator, RWQuarantunes.
During this time when many must continue to celebrate virtually, Chrysalis was able to transform the iconic Butterfly Ball by launching its first virtual fundraiser, Chrysalis Night In. Last year alone, over 800 guests joined together virtually for an unforgettable event benefitting Chrysalis’ vision of a community where everyone has the right to work and thrive.
This year’s virtual gala is set be a star-studded affair complete with musical and comedy performances, celebrity appearances and exclusive auction items available to ticket holders and sponsors. The gala’s sponsors are Benedict Canyon Equities, Blackstone, Greystar, Johnny Carson Foundation, Kennedy Wilson, NBCUniversal, Netflix, TruAmerica Multifamily and U.S. Bank, and event co-chairs include Kerry Brown, Rebecca Gayheart Dane, Rick Hess, Josh Lieberman, Stacey Sher and Richard Weitz.
Celebrity attendees have already begun to confirm their attendance to this private, virtual gala which will be streamed live from 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. PST on Thursday, May 13. Participants in last year’s event included Anne Hathaway, Robert De Niro, Jamie Foxx, Zach Braff, Natasha Bedingfield, Gavin Rossdale, Linda Perry, and Seth MacFarlane, among others.
“The health crisis of COVID-19 has created a parallel unemployment crisis and Chrysalis is uniquely positioned to help our community recover,” Loranger added. “Over the past year, we have welcomed more than 5,000 new clients virtually. And in the same way that we had to transition to a virtual service model, we are also incredibly proud to have the support of our donors and community members who are celebrating with us online at Chrysalis Night In instead of meeting in person at the Butterfly Ball.”
Tickets to this year’s event begin at $50.00 per household, making this exclusive event accessible to all individuals across the globe who believe in the organization’s powerful mission.
