Ticket prices to the event cost $1,500, with proceeds benefiting the center's veteran and inner-city youth employment programs.
Paul made headlines on Monday when he brought thousands of fans to Hollywood Boulevard where he serenaded them with a free concert as part of the Jimmy Kimmel Live show.
Describing it as a 'balmy' evening, Sir Paul was on fine form as played hits including Magical Mystery Tour, Let It Be and Hey Jude.

The English musician was on the show to promote his upcoming album New that will be released on October 14 in the UK.
It is Sir Paul's sixteenth studio album and his first since his 2007 recording Memory Almost Full.
The left-handed bass player sat down with Jimmy and shared that he still has anxiety-related dreams about performing with the Beatles and his post-Fab Four band the Wings.
'I'm there let's say with the Beatles and we're playing and the audience starts to leave,' Paul said of his recurring dream, adding that he wakes in a cold sweat.
The dreams are pure matters of the mind, as Paul told Jimmy that it never happened in real life.
Funnymen: Jason Alexander and Martin Short were also at the charity event
