On Wednesday, January 20, Modelinia cohosted an event with Susan Sarandon, Selita Ebanks, Georgina Chapman, Rachel Roy, Oluchi Onweagba, Noémi Lenoir, Maggie Rizer, Robert Verdi, Veronica Webb, and many others to raise funds to help Haiti.

Silent auction items included Marchesa gowns, Proenza Schouler bags, autographed sports memorabilia, cooking lessons with Top Chef's Gail Simmons, and more.

Supermodel Hilary Rhoda helped coordinate auction items, including an autographed Sean Avery jersey. The bidding is still open on some items. Go to charityfolks.com for more information.

Cohost Georgina Chapman arrived with husband, American film producer and movie studio chairman Harvey Weinstein, who was eager to get to playing Ping-Pong with Doutzen Kroes.

Model Doutzen Kroes arrived and teamed up with Hilary Rhoda, Julie Henderson, and Selita Ebanks for a doubles game.
