The celebration also included musical performances from singer Pia Toscano and drummer Sheila E, as well as an auction in which a Ferrari sold for $285,000.
Just after sundown Saturday, the sound of drums filled the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel as samba dancers flooded into the room.
Shapiro and his wife, Linell, started the organization after losing their son, Brent, to a drug addiction in 2005. The Shapiros honored Brent by attempting to raise nearly two million dollars in one night, and handing out over a dozen college scholarships, three of which were full rides. In true comedic fashion, Arnett started his speech with a stand-up routine that left the audience laughing until they had a stitch in their sides.
Arnett and the Shapiros were joined by a list of stars and socialites for the celebratory evening, includingchoreographers Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Murgatroyd said she hopes that Brent’s story impacts others the way it has impacted her and encourages people to approach addiction with care.
