Farano kindly accepted the request in an effort to help the cause. The painting was used in the live auction in an effort to help raise funds for the George Gervin Youth Center. Sydney Paige was the happy recipient and highest bidder of the original painting.

Some guests and notables in attendance were Bill Russell, Julius Erving, Clyde Drexler, Oscar Robertson, Moses Malone, Rick Barry, Bob Lanier, and Priest Holmes.
