Queen Noor Attends (RED) Auction

Queen Noor of Jordan, elegantly dressed in red, made an appearance at a contemporary art auction organized by Sotheby's and Manhattan's Gagosian Gallery last night. The (RED) Auction raised $42.58 million dollars. (RED) “was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver” as an “economic initiative designed to create awareness and a sustainable flow of money from the private sector into the Global Fund, to fight the AIDS pandemic in Africa.” Back in October, Noor’s royal counterpart, Queen Rania, supported Bobby Shriver at a (RED) launch in New York with Hallmark Cards, Inc.
