The third Annual “A Million Reasons” Fundraising Event was in full swing at a private home in the Hollywood Hills that united nearly 200 guests who came together to help support the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and its work to alleviate hunger throughout LA County. Proceeds of the special event will help provide 1,000,000 meals for food-insecure families and individuals across the County.

Guests enjoyed an exclusive performance by five-time GRAMMY® Award nominee Robin Thicke – the distinguished entertainer performed some of his hits, including “Lost Without U” and “Blurred Lines.”

Additionally, attendees were presented with culinary expertise thanks to the help of esteemed chefs and their teams who prepared dishes for the fundraising event. Featured chefs included Nyesha Arrington (Next Level Chef and Native by Nyesha), Ben Ford (Ford’s Filling Station and author of Taming the Feast), Neal Fraser (Redbird and Vibiana), Suzanne Goin (A.O.C., Caldo Verde and Larder Baking Company) and Valerie Gordon (Valerie Confections and author of Sweet).

Magerum wines, JUSTIN Wines, William Grant & Sons, S. Pelligrino, and Acqua Panna provided beverages for the event.

The fundraising event was hosted by Food Bank board member and Platinum donors Keith Addis and his wife Keri Selig at their home in the Hollywood Hills and was made possible by generous sponsors, including United Airlines as Leadership Donors; Colossal, CoreGiving as Platinum Donors; UTA, Kathleen M. McDowell, Jami and Owen Witte, Jerri and Marshal Safron and Wells Fargo as Legacy Donors; Gail and George Baril, Farmers and Merchants Bank, Nicole and Michael Montgomery, The Flood Family, Jody A.
