There'll be live entertainment by Cirque USA performers and spins by celebrity DJ Tendaji Lathan, with proceeds to benefit Generation Rescue, an autism research and treatment advocacy organization headed by McCarthy. Admission is $275 general/$550 VIP (includes passed sushi and hors d'oeuvres). And since it's for charity, you can write it off.
