The event, which was founded by John Misha Petkevich '71, has raised more than $1.7 million dollars throughout its 28-year history.
Suzanne C. Lye '98, the event's executive manager, said there are "many weeks of hard work and sleepless nights" to put the show together.
Lye also said that An Evening With Champions is one of the biggest fund raisers each year for the Jimmy Fund, which is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year.
Tonia Kwaitkowski, one of the participants and a 1996 Silver medalist in the U.S. National Championships said, "It is really exciting to be part of something that helps so many other people."
The taped version of Saturday night's show will be shown on PBS this spring.
"I think the show was wonderful this year. It was a great experience," Pisacane said
