Keep Memory Alive honored Blake Shelton at the 27th annual Power of Love gala on May 10 at MGM Grand Garden Arena, and the lineup of entertainers included Shelton’s wife Gwen Stefani, Jay Allen, Colbie Caillat, Kristin Chenoweth, Andy Grammer, Mickey Guyton, Gary LeVox, Cassadee Pope and Jay Pharaoh.
Attendees also included Lisa Vanderpump, Crystal Minkoff and Rob Minkoff, Meredith Marks, Deniece Williams, Tommy Thayer, Mark Davis, Elaine Wynn, Jeffrey Soffer, Steven Lagos and Maria Shriver, founder of The Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement Prevention and Research Center at Cleveland Clinic.
Chefs Wolfgang Puck and Evan Funke prepared the dinner paired with wines from Southern Glazer’s Wine, Spirits & Beer of Nevada, followed by dessert from the MGM Grand pastry team. KMA co-founders Camille and Larry Ruvo welcomed the 1,500 guests, with Camille saying, “Before there is a cure, there is a caregiver. Until the cure, there is a caregiver. A topic we rarely think about, yet it is more prevalent than we realize.”
The Ruvos presented Shelton with the Lou Ruvo Philanthropic Award for his charitable work, praising Shelton for “living a life of true generosity and giving so freely to so many causes.” Grammer, Chenoweth, Guy ton, LeVox, Pope and Caillat performed before Shelton took the stage with his hits.
