Icons + Giants co-founder and partner, Grammy-nominated songwriter and stand-up dude Billy Mann was among the honorees at the sold-out NYC gala benefiting the Rema Hort Mann Foundation on 11/1. Mann, who co-founded the charity, received the Humanitarian Award; his late wife was the nonprofit's namesake. The 25-year-old org was founded to support emerging artists and aid cancer patients' quality of life, and the event raised $2.7m for the cause. Among the glittery attendees were singer and TV personality Kelly Rowland, seen here with Mann and his Icons + Giants partner, Benton James, as well as Renee Elise Goldsberry, Kobalt CEO Laurent Hubert, Licorice Pizza's Kerry Brown, opera star Lawrence Brownlee, neo-classical pianist BLKBOK and a veritable who's who of the art world. In a related story, a HITS editor recently wore his tux to Jamba Juice.
