The Center offers the nation’s most comprehensive range of services to care for homeless LGBT and questioning youth.

The event also marked the premier of a new short film and PSA, Any Given Tuesday, that highlights the plight of homeless LGBT youth in Los Angeles. It features do-gooding celebs Elton John, Jamie Foxx, James Woods and Lisa Ling. Scroll through some pictures of the stars that decked the halls of Emmerich’s home.
