Lisa: You've always been my best friend
Lisa Harrine should be getting plenty of calls this week from long-lost friends.
The Park City resident was the highest bidder at a fund-raiser hosted by Grammy-winning R&B vocalist John Legend on Monday.
Harrine's winning $80,000 bid gets her — and 100 of her closest friends — a concert with Legend later this year.
Legend, in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival, decided to take advantage of the Hollywood star power to benefit his favorite cause: "The Show Me Campaign," which helps fight poverty in some of the poorest communities in Africa.
Legend spokesperson Ty Stiklorius said the event, held at the Bon Appetit Supper Club (aka the Riverhorse restaurant), raised $250,000.
Food Network chef Giada De Laurentiis prepare the meal while classical singer Josh Grobin, who has a similar fund-raising event planned at Harry O's on Wednesday, was there supporting his friend and fellow musician.
