Leave it to Madonna to change all that.

The Material Mom is partnering with Gucci to host a fundraiser to benefit UNICEF and her Raising Malawi foundation, which she created in 2006 to aid the southern African nation's 1 million orphans.

Madonna aims to raise in the neighborhood of $2 million at the Feb. 6 event, which will feature a dinner, musical performance and a party to mark the opening of the luxury goods purveyor's new Fifth Avenue outpost.

"I am grateful that Gucci is joining forces with me to bring attention to a country with millions of children in desperate need of our help," Madonna said in a statement.

"Raising Malawi has already done tremendous work in helping these children. But we have much more to do, and this event will surely bring us closer to our goal."

Madonna will be joined at the event by a panel of celebrity cohosts, including Adrien Brody, Arpad Busson, Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault, Téa Leoni, Lucy Liu, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The pop star and her husband, Guy Ritchie, have been in the process of adopting two-year-old David Banda from Malawi since taking him out of an orphanage in October 2006.

In September, the Ritchies were visited by a Malawian social worker, whose role was to observe the boy in his familial setting and evaluate how he has been fitting into his new home.

Madonna has repeatedly denied accusations that she used her celebrity to skirt red tape during the adoption process. In September, the singer's spokeswoman said the adoption was "proceeding as outlined almost a year ago."
