Joan was associated with God’s Love We Deliver from its early days in 1980s New York, when the charity brought meals to people dying of AIDS.
She was one of the first stars to support AIDS research as a cause, before it became famously associated with Elizabeth Taylor.
As the years passed, God’s Love We Deliver expanded its scope beyond HIV/AIDS and now provided meals to thousands of people confined to their homes by illness.
Joan personally spent part of each Thanksgiving delivering food to the sick for charity, as seen in the 2010 documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work.
She died just over a decade ago, on September 4, 2014, after complications from a routine endoscopy.
There were many names in attendance at the gala, including former Real Housewives Of New York City star Luann De Lesseps, who showed off her abs in a flesh-colored PVC cocktail dress.
Luann enjoyed a warm moment with influencer Randy Rainbow, who has become known in recent years for comedic songs with a left-wing political slant.
A number of famous comedians were present on the red carpet, where Tiffany Haddish mingled with Nikki Glaser.
