The red-carpet was absolutely buzzing as Hollywood's hottest stars including Toni Braxton, Kristen Johnston, Gilles Marini, 'GG' Gharachedaghi, Stacey Dash, Phill Lewis and Billy Gardell arrived to show their support. Lupus LA raised nearly half a million dollars at the fete!
With May being Lupus Awareness Month, both Toni and Gilles took to Twitter prior to the event to spread the word about the debilitating and mysterious disease.
Following a moving speech from celebrity host and lupus patient Kristen Johnston, stars dove at the chance to raise money for the charity via a heated live auction. Hugh Jackman spurred guests to bid higher as they fought for his one-of-a-kind jacket worn in the upcoming blockbuster, X-Men: Days Of Future Past. The grand finale of the star-studded evening was an awe-inspiring performance by The Voice's Judith Hill.
