Showing their support for Southern Los Angeles' schools and their students, a handful of stars made appearances at L.A. Live's Event Deck to help put on the LA's Promise 2012 Gala on Tuesday night (October 9).

With this year's theme of "A Night of Magic" having been produced by magician David Copperfield, "Modern Family" actress Julie Bowen tended to hosting duties at the swanky fundraising effort.

Along with Miss Bowen, honorary host committee member Justin Long and "Bourne Legacy" star Jeremy Renner were among those taking the stage while recognizing honoree Erik Feig, President Of Production Of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, as well as The California Endowment and Univision.

As for the organization, itself, L.A.'s Promise operates two large area high schools in a partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District. The organization aims to prepare every child in the neighborhood to be college and career-ready, as well as promote a healthy, successful life.
