David Bowie's late wife, model Iman, has dedicated a new award to her late husband. She attended Save The Child's Illumination Gala in New York, where she was honored with the Voice Award on Tuesday.

Accepting the award, she said philanthropic effort was a tribute to Bowie, noting:

"David was also a staunch supporter of human rights and devoted an innumerable amount of time and resources, which he chose to do anonymously.

I share this award with him, knowing that the fire in him lit the fire in me, and vice versa," she added.

"Good partnerships have a habit of doing that."

Iman currently serves as an ambassador for the charity organization.

Bowie died on January 10 in Manhattan at the age of 69 after an 18-month battle with cancer.
