A Frosty & Feliz Navidad: Los Feliz Toy Drive 2015

“Every aspect of our hospital is designed with the care of children in mind. This means that elements of our care, including devices and supplies, are all just the right size for the care of your child, but it also means that we have actively planned and designed for the integration of family members and loved ones as part of a child’s recovery.”
– Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

THE REASON   The annual Los Feliz Toy Drive benefiting Children’s Hospital Los Angeles was held under the stars at Rockwell Table & Stage, on December 3rd.

THE REVELERS   Guests included Chris Serrano, John Abreu, Joe Fordi, Claudia Hippolito, Rick LeMasters, Skyler Hynes, Bart Verry and Mark Arteaga.

THE RECAP   Hosted by Rusty Updegraff, and Rockwell co-owners Wayne Elias and Chris Diamond, the festivities featured passed hors d’oeuvres and desserts under an open sky with falling snow. Several tables were needed to accommodate the hundreds of toys that were donated by guests. Music from DJs “The Perry Twins,” and appearances by Frosty the Snowman and “Santa” made for especially cheerful atmosphere, although the “Santa” stole everyone’s thunder.
