Tables inside the ballroom, going for $5,000 each, were covered in simple white linens and topped with calla lily centerpieces from 3-D Flowers.
The night would not have been complete without a silent auction, which featured items including sneakers signed by Dwyane Wade and a harp covered in designs by Romero Britto.
More than $200,000 was raised for the charity.
