The organization, started by Joe Biden's late son, is dedicated to fighting child abuse and neglect by focusing on education, as well as strengthening child protection laws.
"There's a tendency to say, 'No, that's not my business, that's a family issue.' A child abused is not a family issue. A child abused, these are all our children. They are the kitestrings that lift our national ambitions aloft," said Biden.
In addition to the donation, a portion of Saturday night's ticket sales went to the Beau Biden Foundation.
