On October 18, the 2008 Oceana Partners Award Gala was held in Los Angeles to honour former President Bill Clinton, Sting, and Trudie Styler. Attending the event were a host of famous faces including Dustin Hoffman, Kirsten Dunst, Adrian Grenier, Katharine McPhee, Zach Braff, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, Barbara Streisand and James Brolin, Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith, Diane Keaton, Rosanna Arquette, Kristin Chenoweth, Melissa George, Arriana Huffington, Laura Dern and Ben Harper, Norman Lear, Sarah Paulsen, Laird Hamilton, Sugar Ray Leonard, Karina Petroni and Lisa Anderson.

Trudie and Sting were given honours for their work with the Rainforest Foundation organization for which they have raised more than $25 million with their benefit concerts since 1989.

Guests were treated to a special four song surprise performance by Sting who performed 'Fragile', 'Message In A Bottle', 'Every Breath You Take', and 'Shoot The Breeze' with Dustin Hoffman. It was also nice to see Lyle Workman playing guitar with Sting again for the first time since 2006.

Over $1.3 million was raised for Oceana from the evening's festivities.
