From Actor Shaun Toub: “A great event, wonderful cause for The Midnight Mission in LA. They go good for a lot of people.”

Tony Galla performed for the crowd while guests enjoyed speakers and an awards ceremony where Tom Petty and his wife Dana Petty were honored for their dedication to The Midnight Mission.
