Saturday night, Charlie, who's now cancer-free and thriving, reunited with former Heisman trophy winner Johnny Manziel.
Also in attendance were Houston Astros star Alex Bregman, along with former Texans tight end Owen Daniels and Texans Chief Operating Officer Cal McNair.
The gala raised $500,000 to fund the fight against childhood cancer.
