On October 26, the 21st annual Two x Two for AIDS and Art benefit dinner and contemporary art auction raised $8 million with funds benefiting amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, and the Dallas Museum of Art.
Five hundred people attended the sold-out black-tie event co-hosted by Cindy and Howard Rachofsky at their home, The Rachofsky House, along with Lisa and John Runyon.
“Embarking into our third decade of Two x Two, it is clear that the enthusiasm continues to swell around supporting these two organizations. Having started Two x Two week with the devastating impact from tornados in our neighborhood, it was unanimous among all leadership at Two x Two, the Dallas Museum of Art, and amfAR that a portion of the proceeds this year be given to support the relief efforts in our immediate community. After all, Two x Two was created to save lives and brighten them up with the beauty of art.
