Making this year’s gala a truly memorable occasion, the actor, television/radio host, Emmy winner and New York Times best selling author, Mario Lopez, will emcee the event. Best known for his role as A.C. Slater on Saved by the Bell, Lopez is currently the host of the radio program, “On with Mario Lopez,” and his own boxing/MMA podcast “The 3 Knockdown Rule.”
We are also proud to announce that the Los Angeles Chargers will be honored with the Stand for Kids Gala Community Inspiration Award for their outstanding contributions to the community. Their commitment to creating access and opportunities that positively impact youth in under-resourced neighborhoods is truly commendable. The Chargers share a vision of a more inclusive and supportive society, ensuring every young person has the chance to thrive. It’s a privilege to celebrate their achievements at our Gala on June 8th at SoFi Stadium!
Additionally, we are excited to welcome UCLA Quarterback Ethan Garbers to join us at the Gala. Ethan will engage with attendees by throwing footballs, signing autographs, and mentoring our Patient Ambassadors during the “pregame show” at the Gala’s Kid’s Zone, located on the 50-yard line of SoFi Stadium.
Joining Ethan in the Kid’s Zone and on stage during the show are UCLA Women’s Basketball stars Angela Dugalic and Camryn Brown. They will interact with attendees and highlight our Patient Ambassadors. The Women’s Basketball Team has been a valuable partner of LuskinOIC for nearly a year, participating in events and inspiring our young patients.
