"Reform Alliance Gala: A Star-Studded Fundraising Event for Criminal Justice Reform"
[!CDATA[Jay-Z and Michael Rubin are organizing a grand fundraising gala for Reform Alliance, featuring a $1 million blackjack tournament at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City on Sept. 13. The event will include a performance by The Weeknd. Attendees can purchase tickets for $50,000 or pay $100,000 to participate in the tournament. The exclusive event will have 300 VIP guests approved by the Reform Alliance board. In 2023, the gala raised an impressive $24 million, surpassing its $20 million goal. The star-studded event featured performances by Travis Scott, Fat Joe, Fabolous, Quavo, French Montana, Meek Mill, and Lil Baby. This year's gala is anticipated to exceed the previous year's success and become one of the top charity fundraising events of the year, potentially surpassing the Met Gala's record-breaking $31 million. The Reform Alliance board comprises Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Michael Rubin, Robert Kraft, Laura Arnold, Robert F. Smith, Clara Wu Tsai, Michael Novogratz, Michael Rapino, and Emilia Fazzalari. Past guests at the gala included Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Kevin Hart, Jack Harlow, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Kuzma, Tiffany Haddish, Ne-yo, Gayle King, La La Anthony, and Kevin O’Leary. Michael Rubin has decided to alternate his Hamptons white party with the Reform Alliance gala, as well as his company's Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center. The move was made to balance his event schedule, as he also hosts Fanatics' star-studded Super Bowl party and VIP luncheon annually. The Reform Alliance gala draws inspiration from Rubin's white party and Jay-Z and Beyoncé's Oscars gold party. Reform Alliance is dedicated to reforming probation and parole laws. Since 2019, the organization's bipartisan efforts have led to the passing of 20 bills in 12 states, providing opportunities for nearly 800,000 individuals to transition out of the system. The Weeknd recently performed at Robin Hood's charity gala at the Javits Center. In conclusion, the Reform Alliance gala organized by Jay-Z and Michael Rubin promises to be a spectacular event, combining entertainment with a noble cause to bring about positive change in the criminal justice system. With a history of successful fundraising and influential guests, the gala is set to make a significant impact and continue its mission of reforming probation and parole laws.]]
