Notable Moments: The evening commenced with a stirring rendition of the National Anthem performed by Jade Johnson, who provided vibrant musical entertainment later in the program as well. Moving video tributes emoted the impact the programs that Helping Hands for Single Moms have for single moms and their families. A lively auction and a good-natured roast of Phoenix Suns Ring of Honor Inductee, Shawn Marion, by roast masters Eddie Johnson, Kurt Thomas and Casey Jacobsen added to the jubilant atmosphere. Perhaps the most moving moment of the night was a standing ovation for the 32 nursing students on stage who received support from the beneficiary.
