Rachel Platten Sings Emotional Tribute To Christina Grimmie at Humane Society's Annual Gala

Rachel Platten poses with Christina Grimmie‘s family just outside of The Humane Society of the United States’ To the Rescue Los Angeles Gala in Hollywood on Saturday (April 22).

The “Stand By You” singer performed a touching tribute to Christina inside the event, where her family — dad Bud, mom Tina and brother Marcus — accepted the Impact Award on her behalf.

The Impact Award was for Christina‘s devotion to protecting animals and many of her own fans were moved by her enormous heart and call for mercy toward animals who suffer.

Daniella Monet and Harley Quinn Smith also stepped out for the event, which broke the gala’s fundraising record, raising more than $1.4M for the organization’s Farm Animal Protection campaign.

FYI: Rachel is wearing Schutz shoes.
