“Hollywood Under the Stars” Gala Fundraiser on Paramount Studios Lot

We are excited to announce the second annual Hollywood Under the Stars fundraiser, on the Paramount Studios lot on Saturday, June 24. Longtime supporter Rick Llanos will serve as the event’s honorary host.

The organization will partner with nearly a dozen top Angeleno chefs and patissiers to present a gourmet, chef-curated evening of tastings, complemented by a live, 10-piece band presented by de Bois All Stars for dancing under the night sky.

The event will also pay tribute to actor Martin Sheen, who has supported St. Vincent Meals on Wheels, with the Vincent’s Heart Award.

We are thrilled to announce Chef Isaias Peña, Caruso Regional Executive Chef of Hank’s and Qué Padre in Palisades Village, has been named Host Chef / Culinary Angel this year.

In addition to Peña, among the chefs and restaurateurs who will be on hand preparing some of their signature savory dishes are Chef Gino Angelini of Angelini Osteria, Chef/owner Nika Shoemaker-Machado of Georgia’s Restaurant, Chef Robert Fry of Evil Twin, owned by Dylan Weiss and Chef George Huynh of Smoke City Char Bar.

Rounding out the gustatory line-up will be select desserts such as Etoile Filante Patisserie’s oneof- a-kind macarons, John Hensley of Lark Cake Shop presenting his handcrafted baked goods, Läderach Chocolatier Suisse and pastry chef Elfie Astier of Hotcakes Bakes. Generous corporate and community sponsors include Delta Dental, US Bank, Wallis Annenberg, Albertsons/Vons Foundation, Toyota Motors, Batjac Productions, Voya Financial, Fidelity Investments, and long-standing supporters Rick Llanos & Nelly Llanos.
