Brad Pitt’s Gala,  A Night to Make it Right, was a successful fundraiser that attracted a long list of named celebrities. Among those in attendance, was television personality Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen hosted the evening, which was dedicated to raise more money for Brad Pitt’s “Make it Right” foundation which is currently working to rebuild the Katrina devastated areas of the Lower 9th ward.

Over 75 homes have already been built, with plans forming for many more!
