The 2023 Honoree, Fashion Icon Iris Apfel was in attendance, selecting the Palm Beach Police Department as the recipients of the proceeds from the exhibition’s print sales. Palm Beach Chief of Police Nicholas P. Caristo and Major John Scanlan were in attendance also.
More than 600 photos were on exhibit showcasing events and parties, as well as portraits of well-known celebrities such as: Tom Hanks, Tommy Hilfiger, Jane Fonda, Barbara Walters, Candice Bergen, Sylvester Stallone, among others.

In order to assure the evening’s resounding success, Annie had enthusiastic support from her event manager, Alexandra-Dana Gusita, 6 of her photographers, 2 videographers, and a social media creator who were active onsite throughout the evening.
