Guests of the Pistons and Pearls Charity Gala were treated to a performance by Gerry McCambridge. He is the inspiration for the hit TV show, The Mentalist, as well as the performer of the popular Las Vegas show "The Mentalist," now in its 6th year. Using his unique blend of comedy, observational skills, psychic intuition, and charm, Gerry McCambridge amazed the audience.

The performance by Gerry McCambridge was just one of the incredible elements of the Pistons and Pearls Charity Gala, which also included dancing, drinks and hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, an exclusive tour of the showroom floor, and an after party at The Pepper Lounge.

Nelly, a St. Louis native and Grammy Award winning rap artist, made a surprise guest appearance at the Million Dollar Mile exclusive viewing for VIP guests.

The Charity Gala was a great success and was attended by over 600 guests. The Charity Gala raised $68,000 that will help to support important local charities that are doing essential work in the Saint Louis area. These include the Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Operation Food Search, St. Louis Arc, St. Louis Auto Dealers Charitable Foundation, St. Louis Crisis Nursery, TASK (Team Activities for Special Kids), and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
