NYC’s finest came this weekend to celebrate the 22nd annual GLAAD Media Awards at the Marriott Marquis and sponsors ROKK vodka was kind enough to provide plenty of photos of celebs and other attendees.
GLAAD honorees Ricky Martin and Russell Simmons strutted down the ROKK blue carpet, and the evening included hilarious jokes from host Andy Cohen, and surprise appearances from Tina Fey (30 Rock), and Vinny Guadagnino (Jersey Shore).
In addition to providing the means for a celebratory evening, ROKK encouraged presenters and award winners to incorporate “ROKK” into their speeches as part of the “I Wanna ROKK” campaign. For every “ROKK” said during the show, ROKK pledged to donate $100 to GLAAD and the brand is proud to announce that $10,000 was raised last night! Celebrity attendees were also encouraged to sign a one-of-a-kind RÖKK photograph created by celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz. The unique piece of art, complete with all signatures from the three award shows, will be donated to GLAAD as a contribution to the organization’s 2011 OUTAuction.
