ET's Lauren Zima caught up with Perry at the gala, where she opened up about why she felt it was important to come out and support the hospital.

"I had a life-changing experience of my own when I got to visit the Children's Hospital in December," Perry, 31, explained. "I got to see their music therapy program, which is basically where a bunch of musicians come and play to patients. They play to premature babies in the NICU up to adults, all of it."

"I had such a profound personal experience that I was like, 'Of course, whatever you need. If I can help you raise money or funds or get eyeballs to the Children's Hospital, I'll do it,'" she continued. "So that's why I'm here."

Perry didn't just lend her presence to the event, she also sang live for those who came out to the annual fundraiser. Donning a frilly, light-pink gown, Perry played a short set, which included her hits "Roar," "Teenage Dream," "Firework" and "Dark Horse."

Perry, Barrymore and Gad were among many big-name guests at the event, which also included Jessica Capshaw, Jamie Lee Curtis, Katharine McPhee, Eric Stonestreet, Holly Robinson Peete and Luc Robitaille, among others.

Back in June, Perry traveled to Vietnam in her role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, where she fought to raise awareness about the plight of economically disadvantaged children who are left behind even as the country's economy grows.
