According to CBS News, the dress' designer donated the proceeds from the sale to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was set up by the "Valerie" singer's family to help vulnerable young people. Amy's father Mitch — who was present at the auction Tuesday — told CBS News the family was "just over the moon and this is a wonderful start to the foundation."
