1. Carousel of Hope
Usually called the Carousel Ball, this red-letter event on L.A.’s social calendar is such a production that it’s held only once every two years. The host is Barbara Davis, half of a Hollywood power couple with her late billionaire husband, former 20th Century Fox owner Marvin Davis. Their A-list friends will turn out in droves at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in October for this fund-raiser for children’s diabetes.

Fulfillment Fund Gala Prepares for Waterworks

Silverware? Check. Dishes? Check. Centerpiece? Check. Kleenex? Kleenex?
At the Beverly Hilton for the Fulfillment Fund's "Stars 2007" gala on October 23, the charity gave guests boxes of tissues branded with its name. Andrea Cockrum, the educational organization’s longtime C.E.O., cooked up the idea in anticipation of the response to the address by keynote speaker Claudia Bonilla. The former Fulfillment Fund student told the sold-out crowd of 1,050 about her journey from a youth marked by poverty, gangs, depression, and cutting to becoming her family’s first college grad and an accountant for PricewaterhouseCoopers.
“In her 20 years of working for us, Andrea Cockrum has always said that she can’t leave a Fulfillment Fund event without guests being very emotional,” special event director Stacy Kravitz said. “Our goal is really to inspire people so we can have a huge financial success but also have them call in after the event to become mentors.”
