**CharityStars has been announced as [Global Gift Gala](http://globalgiftgala.org/)’
s official fundraising partner for 2016, following its support of the international
fundraising initiative’s 2015 London and Dubai events.**

CharityStars hosted a variety of online auctions for Global Gift Gala, which raises
funds to help women and children worldwide, before both events, as well as managing
silent auctions at each gala dinner.

The Dubai event saw a Picasso original ‘Seven Studies for a Head of a Harlequin’

raised at the galas in 2015, which took place in Paris, Cannes, and Marbella, as
well as London and Dubai.
