God Bless,” Harvey tweeted on his official Twitter page.

The benefit honored Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade and Holly Robinson Peete . Both of these individuals were honored for being great role models in their respective communities and helping anybody out in need.
The foundation sponsors national programs, including mentoring camps for boys and girls and scholarships to aid young people in their development. The Gala will benefit the many initiatives of the Harvey foundation including plans to build a family center in Dallas, Texas.
Even though the Harvey’s could not attend their Gala, the Gala was a great turnout and it represented what role models are suppose to look like and how they have affected their communities in a positive structure.
