Attendees enjoyed old fashioned barbecue from StoneFire Grill, Ben & Jerry's ice cream, cocktails, Hawaiian shaved ice and more. Party-goers also shopped the silent auction and rubbed elbows with celebrities including Teri Hatcher, Bob Guiney, James Denton, Jesse Spencer, Jorge Garcia, Adrian Pasdar, Gary Cole, Scott Grimes, among others.
