Key says in a statement that the media mogul is “a personal inspiration to me, because her philanthropic work truly comes from the heart.”

Winfrey’s humanitarian efforts include building schools in South Africa.

Keep a Child Alive was founded in 2003. It assists those affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Keys says this year’s Black Ball will pay “special tribute to the empowerment of women — the heartbeat, soul and backbone of the AIDS movement.”

The ninth annual event will take place at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom.
