Last Monday, July 16th at STK Atlanta, 

Dan Uggla

, second baseman for The Braves, hosted his second annual

Celebrity Waiter Night

at

STK Atlanta

in Midtown benefiting his foundation

Diamonds in the Rough

.

The sold-out fundraising event attracted 150 guests who enjoyed STK's signature cuisine served by Uggla and his teammates, fine wine and exciting silent and live auctions.

Emceed by

Matt Chernoof

and

Sandra Golden

of 680 The Fan, guests kicked off the eventing with a cocktail hour in the lounge of STK where not only did they get to bid on silent auction items, but they also got to mix and mingle with Uggla and his teammates 

Freddie Freeman, Martin Prado, Mike Minor, Michael Bourn, Eric Hinske, Jair Jurrjens, Kris Medlen, Tyler Pastornicky

and former Braves player

Charlie Leibrandt.

As guests filled the dining room, Uggla discussed his foundation, introduced the players, teased live auction items including dinner with Dan and his friends at STK, signed jerseys, concert tickets and more....and then quickly put his teammates to work.

With the help of STK's servers, The Braves traded in their bats, gloves and balls for aprons - bringing each table a four-course meal.  Dinner was followed by a live auction that raised more than $50,000 for Uggla’s Diamonds in the Rough Foundation, which strives to provide opportunities, support and resources to children and families in need. The primary focus of the foundation is to improve the lives of low-income children and children with cancer by providing daily support and life changing experiences.

Dan Uggla's Celebrity Waiter Night, STK Atlanta

Garçon, garçon! I mean waiter. No baseball player. No, waiter! Confused yet? Let me re-pitch... Atlanta Braves players turn waiters for one very charitable night at the swankiest steakhouse in town, STK Atlanta. Braves second baseman Dan Uggla is the brainchild behind Celebrity Waiter Night which benefits his foundation Diamonds in the Rough.



Dan spoke to CBS News and other members of the media about Celebrity Waiter Night. So who are the waiters?!



Dan wouldn't reveal the names of the Braves players who'll be waiting on guests on the July 16th event, but two potentials are, Martin Prado and "for the ladies" as he put it, pitcher Brandon Beachy. He also raved about how much he liked the "atmosphere" at STK and how excited he is for the 2nd Annual Celebrity Waiter Night.

Dan and I shared a few moments talking about why we love Miami. He lived there for five years while playing for the Marlins. He found it amusing that I'm a fashion blogger while my sister, Miriam Diaz, is a sports blogger who writes [almost] exclusively about the Marlins.

Dan Uggla was a real nice guy with very big arms! His Celebrity Waiter Night, in support of Diamonds in the Rough that provides resources to children and families in need, will be held on July 16 at STK Atlanta. The $250 per guest dinner includes a reception and silent/live auctions.
