The awards ceremony took place at New York City's Astor Center, with fellow honorees including actress Doris Roberts of Everybody Loves Raymond fame; Ambassador Mark Dybul, U.S. global AIDS coordinator and coordinator for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief; and restauranteur and AIDS activist Florent Morellet.
