Julianne Moore, Andy Cohen, Allison Sarofim, Stuart Parr, and Hunter Hill host a fundraiser for the Perry Moore Hero Fund, with Francisco Costa, Tatum O”Neal, Dean Winters, and more in attendance.

The Perry Moore HERO Fund was founded in 2011 by Hunter Hill in partnership with the Hetrick-Martin Institute, to continue the work by Perry Moore to promote tolerance, strength, and understanding within the LGBTQ community, and honor his legacy. Moore worked through his life to spread tolerance and empowerment. The fund was named after HERO, Moore”s book about a gay superhero, that continues to touch lives. Honored at the fundraiser was Christian Sanchez, who graduates today from LaGuardia Community College after overcoming a difficult immigration to the U.S. from Mexico, and an abusive, LGBTQ-intolerant father. He is the first in his family to graduate from college. His inspiring story brought tears to the eyes of those in the room.
