Best Buddies International held its 6th Annual Celebration of Mothers in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles on Saturday in honor of Mother’s Day weekend.
Legendary supermodel Cindy Crawford and beauty queen Olivia Culpo were among the A-listers lending their support to the event.
The Best Buddies International non-profit consists of volunteers that create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
The program pairs volunteers with a buddy with an intellectual and/or developmental disability with the goal of providing them with a friend or a mentor.
This year’s event is honoring actress, activist and mother of four Holly Robinson Peete, whose son Rodney Jr., from her marriage to retired NFL star Rodney Peete, is an individual with autism.
