There were many reasons to be smiling at the Child Mind Institute Gala. Everyone's favorite performer Jimmy Buffett and his beautiful Jane were being honored with the 2011 Child Advocacy Award and if that was not enough the evening raised over $5.3 million.
After receiving their award Matt Lauer walked on stage with Jimmys' guitar wearing a parrot on his head. Jimmy surprised the attendees by performing “Song for the Little Children” and “Volcano”
Some of the guests included Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower, Chuck Close, New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Bronson Van Wyck, John McEnroe, Nicole Miller, Marcia Mishaan and Mike Ramos
