The event raised funds for the One Step  Closer Foundation. The foundation supports research and easing the lives  of those afflicted with cerebral palsy. The foundation is directed by  Jacob Zawelski. Mr. Zawelski is himself afflicted with cerebral palsy  but is a remarkable man who in spite of his illness runs this foundation  and helps the lives of other victims of the disease. The event was  attended by several celebrities including Mehki Prifer (star of 10 major  films and the tv series ER from 2002-2008), Lacey Jones (model and  actress), Jennifer Tilly (actress), Ken Davidian (actor - Borat and  others), Sam Simon (creator of the TV show The Simpsons) and other local  celebrities. Everyone had a good time and the event raised money for  celebral palsy sufferers. Mr. Takata is aware that it is a difficult  time and the economy is down, but if you have any excess funds please  consider donating to the One Step Closer Foundation.
