Philanthro Productions and Causecast will host a blow-out event to kick off the summer season, with proceeds going to 826LA. A benefit party entitled RW/FF: Rewind. Fast Forward. will be held on Friday, June 5, at DJ AM’s LAX Nightclub in Hollywood, Calif.
To date, Philanthro Productions has engaged thousands of young adults and donated over $100,000 to its partner charities, achieving an impressive donation rate of 93% of event proceeds last year. Philanthro has set the bar even higher for this next event, which will bring in hundreds of fresh patrons from Generation Y to party with friends, give back, and learn about 826LA.
826LA is one of seven national locations founded by writer Dave Eggers and educator Nínive Calegari. Active members of its advisory board include film director-producers Spike Jonze and Judd Apatow, and GOOD Inc. founder Ben Goldhirsh. 826LA provides its services to students free of charge at drop-in tutoring centers with a twist – each houses an entertaining novelty shop, with proceeds partially funding the non-profit’s operations. The primary LA tutoring center is home to the Echo Park Time Travel Mart.
In keeping with the spirit of 826LA and the children it serves, Philanthro’s RW/FF: Rewind. Fast Forward. event will incorporate the whimsical theme of time travel and bring out the inner child in LA’s young adults at one of Hollywood’s most renowned nightclubs. Special touches will transport patrons to the future and back again, including special guests, high-energy DJs and performances, raffles, and surprise giveaways. 826LA will stay top of mind throughout the night with tie-ins throughout the venue.
LAX Nightclub is located at 1714 N Las Palmas Ave., Hollywood, CA. Doors are open from 10pm – 2am; ages
21+ only. Cover charge of $15 before 11:00pm, $20 after; guest list available at www.philanthroproductions.org.
