accepted the Giving Tree Award at the Baby2Baby 10-Year Gala presented by Paul Mitchell, but the moment reminded her of her past times attending the annual event with the late NBA star.
“I have to start by saying how much I miss my perfect date today. My husband Kobe loved attending,” Vanessa said in her speech , getting visibly choked up and pausing before continuing. “Sorry. He loved attending Baby2Baby galas. With his big smile, he would look at me and say, ‘Babe, this is fricking awesome. Tonight, I’m your plus one… It’s the one event that I’m not obligated to do anything. I get to be your date, help families and enjoy great food.
Kobe and their daughter, Gianna, tragically died in a helicopter crash in January 2020. Vanessa brought her oldest daughter, Natalia, as her date to this year's event. Vanessa reflected on stories of women she helped while working with the Baby2Baby organization, including a mother whose children had to share one diaper between them. “That story still resonates with me today,” Vanessa said.
