The three-hour outdoor event was hosted by Nickelodeon's "All That" star Josh Server and attracted over 400 adults and children for a day of fun to raise money for the foundation's cancer research programs at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Celebrities in attendance included Debbie Gibson, Mary Wilson, Rachael Leigh Cooke, Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller, the cast of Nickelodeon's All That, Netflix's Tall Girl star Ava Michelle and many more.

Attendees were able to decorate their very own Duff's Cake Mix special treat, explore a virtual reality experience, climb a Velcro-wall, participate in various carnival-like activities from face painting, balloon darts and more, along with a JoJo Glam station and a photo booth extravaganza. The buffet lunch was catered by Umami Burger with snacks ranging from Wetzel's Pretzels, popcorn and cotton candy and healthy treats from Gogo squeeZ and Hint water and more. Honorees for this year's annual event were:
