The audience clapped along as the band played. "We're extremely extremely honored to play at such a benefit," said singer Mark Milby during the performance. "That last song was appropriately about hope."
A raffle was held, and prizes and gift certificates worth more than $1,000 were given away.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with this," said Pat Parks, a Clemson graduate who won a football autographed by Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford.
"But the night has really been a success," Parks, who serves on the Board of Directors for Women to the World, said. "It was beyond our wildest dreams."
"I was aware of this issue but not nearly to the extent to which I am now," said Milby. "I think that goes for all of us in the band. This has been great."
"We change the world through small miracles," said Pitts in her speech. "I think that each one of you here tonight is a small miracle, and I think that each dollar raised tonight is a small miracle."
