Entertainment included singer Barry Allen Cohen. A special fire performance by Jay7 Productions added a spark to the evening. The mistress of ceremonies was former NBC and KTLA journalist Gloria Goldstein. BAG CEO Barbara Cafaro says, "We have all been touched by the pain of cancer, but together we can all help heal."
