Those who purchase the RM 100,000 and RM 200,000 tables will be invited to a private meet and greet session with the stars. How lucky.
Oh, did we tell you that F1 champions like Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button and Mark Webber will be there too?
Our homegrown pop star, Dayang Nurfaizah will keep guests entertained with her power-lunged performance.
"More big names will be announced soon," says a spokesperson for the Malaysian AIDS Foundation.
Supported by the Sepang International Circuit (SIC), the star-studded party will be held at the grand ballroom, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur on March 22 (Thursday).
Designer watch-maker Richard Mille is the co-sponsor.

Being Malaysian entities with global footprint, both Sapura Group and Kencana Petroleum Berhad are keen on expanding their corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects locally and internationally.
And just for the Red Ribbon GP Ball, Richard Mille has created a special edition of the RM 030 Automatic watch. Housing a Declutchable Rotor that took Richard Mille four years to design, the 15 Limited Edition RM 030 watches cases are in 18k red gold and titanium with red accents on the crown, hands and interior flange.
Each designer timepiece will be individually numbered and engraved with ‘Malaysia Grand Prix 2012’ on the back bezel.
The celebrities in attendance have also agreed to donate their personal items, to be auctioned off by reps from Christie’s during the evening.
