Wade established Wade’s World Foundation in 2004 and the organization’s mission has been to help inspire and provide support to community-based organizations that promote education, health and social skills for kids in at-risk situations so they have the necessary tools they need to leave a positive footprint within their community and succeed in their life experiences. 
As guests arrived, they were able to take a turn for pictures on the red carpet, sip on the different specialty cocktails and Rockit restaurants bites stationed around the venue, view the different auction items and activation areas throughout including the air trapeze lady pouring Korbel champagne for guests or dance to the beats from DJ’s Coco and Breezy.
Sean and John Tap Dancers treated guests to a special performance before being ushered into the show venue. Once seated, and the lights went low, one of the main attractions of the night took form. Les Twins, talented identical twin, dancing phenom brothers Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois, beasts in the dancing world who gained global fame for going on tour with Beyonce put on an amazing performance (see a snippet here).
The fashion show “A Night on the RunWade” originated back in Miami when Wade played for the Miami Heat, but now that he’s back home, it was only right to stage the show here. The DSquared2 fashion show featured looks from their Pre-Fall 2017 collection for both men and women.
