Nicholas Soderblom and Nicollette Sheridan

American Red Cross Local Disaster Relief Fund and Katrina Disaster Relief

Though she plays not so neighborly Edie Britt on Desperate Housewives, actress Nicollette Sheridan generously lent her celebrity status to host the American Red Cross Local Disaster Relief Fund and Katrina Disaster Relief fundraiser.

Held at the beautiful home of long-time Beverly Hills resident and philanthropist Daphne Lewis, Hollywood’s A-list was out in force to support the cause.

As the conversation, donations, and cocktails flowed, official auctioneer of the evening Izzy Chait, along with his band, played lively jazz to energize the crowd and their wallets. The evening’s auctioned items included some of Beverly Hills’ top brands in jewelry, fur, designer handbags, clothing, art, restaurants, spas, and travel packages.

Retailing at over US $120,000, these items were generously donated by Nicollette Sheridan, Traci Bingham, Maggie Barry Fashions, Judith Ripka Jewelry, Dicker and Dicker Furs, Rodnick, Maison Luxe Home Store, Charlie Lapson Fashions, Tempested Fashions, Eagle & Rose, Larry Miller in Sit in Sleep, Von Dutch, Ed Hardy, Nut Factory, Falcon Restaurant, York PR, Lucky Strike Bowling Lanes, Geoff Thomas Designs, Ashley Paige, Red Envelope, and YMI Jeanswear among others.
