Held at the iconic Hollywood Palladium and presented by Live Nation, the star-packed gala doubled as a celebration of Janie’s Fund’s 10-year anniversary, marking a decade of life-changing work for girls and young women who’ve experienced trauma. By the end of the night, the event raised an incredible $4.1 million.

The funds raised are going directly toward expanding Janie’s Houses, trauma-informed homes that provide safety, stability, and long-term support. This year’s goal? Building at least two new houses, creating more pathways for healing and independence.

Spotted throughout the night: Tiffany Haddish, Carmen Electra, Evan Ross, Taylor Momsen, Flavor Flav, Taylor Dayne, Hilary Roberts, Ana Cristina Cash, John Paul DeJoria, and more — with performances from Steven Tyler, Robin Zander (Cheap Trick), Marcus King, Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes), and Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins) with a surprise performance from YUNGBLUD (fresh off his GRAMMY win for Best Rock Performance).
