On Sunday, Pierce Capital Entertainment, in partnership with the Children's Oncology Support Fund (COSF), hosted cocktails by the Mediterranean Sea during the Cannes Film Festival. The invitation-only event took place at La Plage du Martinez and brought together people from around the world, particularly change-makers, artists, producers, and supporters all in the name of film and oncology. “The evening spotlighted COSF’s mission to uplift children and families affected by cancer through the healing power of art, music, and holistic care,” explains event notes.

As guests arrived Thomas Pierce, the founder of Pierce Capital Entertainment and COSF welcomed them and made sure everyone was taken care of. Introducing people to one another, it felt like his renowned Aspen Snow Ball that takes place every winter in the snowy luxury Colorado town. Pierce has been able to master making his events feel like a family reunion and Sunday was no different.

COSF is known for its mission to fund the development, research, and programs of less toxic therapies for pediatric cancer patients in the US. Providing grants to donor-dependent patient programs, partnerships are formed and children get the care that they need.

Attending were William Abadie from Emily In Paris, business woman and author Keni Silva and her partner and real-estate magnet Mohamed Hadid, as well as Monika Bacardi, Oliver English, Camila Pinzon, Axelle Rene, Noga Erez, Karan Johar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Maja Malnar, Antoneta Kusijanovic, Ikram Abdi Omar, Max Kondziolka, Lachlan Towle, Orhan Awatramani, Ryan Smith, Allen Cheney, Olivia Dell, Lauren Rodolitz, Alex Buronova, and Ornela March.
