Numerous sports and entertainment celebrities were on hand to lend their support including George Lopez, Holly Robinson Peete, Sugar Shane Mosley, Mario Lopez, Courtney Mazza, Dave Winfield, Ray Mancini, Jimmy Jam, Michael King, and singer Toni Braxton, who performed the National Anthem.

Fatburger contributed its mobile food truck, the Fatmobile, to the evenings cause. In between boxing matches, guests were treated to their choice of Fatburgers, TurkeyBurgers, and VeggieBurgers.
