The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is donating $105,000 to Cal State Long Beach, along with donations to a number of Cal State schools, they announced earlier this month.

According to a release from the association, Jamie Lee Curtis presented the awards, along with the likes of Renée Zellweger, Gina Rodriguez, Emma Stone, Hugh Grant, Justin Timberlake, Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn at the annual banquet, located at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

“This is the greatest example of the global us, the diversity, the very thing we are talking about in this election: the colorful coalition of people from different countries and religions and backgrounds coming together and doing something incredibly powerful. That kind of good-doing is what makes this country great, what makes this business great and what makes the HFPA singular in their generosity of spirit.”
