Over the weekend, John Varvatos held the Stuart House annual fund raiser at his Los Angeles boutique. Presented by Chrysler and drawing an eclectic ensemble of actors and musicians, including Zach Braff, Ben McKenzie, LL Cool J, Ray Ramano, Billy Ray Cyrus, David Schwimmer, Eric McCormack, George Kotsiopoulos, Jesse Metcalfe, and Lydia Hearst, the event raised $957,000 to benefit the charity.

Hosted by actor Chris Pine, the all-day event featured an intimate concert by seven time Grammy winner Ziggy Marley, as well as trendy food trucks like In-N-Out Burger and Canvas Food Truck, and an online auction with Charitybuzz.com, which featured all-access experiences like a five night stay in an ocean view suite at Four Seasons Resort in Maui, a VIP Zac Brown Band Experience, and an ultimate KISS Fan Experience.
