The event: Actress Holly Robinson Peete came sashaying down the runway on the arm of her husband Rodney Peete to the strains of Janelle Monae's "Yoga," with its lyric "let your booty do the yoga." Looking great, no question, yet she reminded the former NFL champ, “I just turned 50, hon. I just don’t move it like I used to.”
So began Saturday's high-spirited 17th annual DesignCare Gala, benefiting the HollyRod Foundation, which is dedicated to providing care for people living with Parkinson’s disease and autism. Originally begun after Robinson Peete’s father contracted Parkinson’s disease, the charity’s mission expanded after the couple’s eldest son, Rodney, was diagnosed with autism.
