Among the guests who took to the stage at Avalon Hollywood were Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone, Paramount Pictures chairman Brad Grey, Marc Cherry and Brenda Strong ("Desperate Housewives"), and Melissa Peterman ("Reba"). Host Felicity Huffman assured everyone prior to the event that she would NOT be singing: "About four years ago, my husband (William H. Macy) and I were performers in it. And it was so bad that they've asked me back to host and not to sing."

Breast cancer is really a political issue, it has to be a part of everyone's campaign, we have to care about who we elect and if they care about this cause. It's about having health care and information and access for all women regardless of income." Peri Gilpin ("Frasier") was among those who started the event and remains a co-chair of it and performer in it: "It's for a great cause and so many people are affected. I think that's why this keeps going -- because everyone wants to do something and raise awareness and help each other, support each other, and raise money to cure it."
