November Issue Release Party

THE PARTY In celebration of November’s The Give Back Issue, which highlighted the top altruists, philanthropists and more in the City of Angels, Angeleno joined together with BBVA Compass and cover star Sandra Lee for an elegant cover party. Held at Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills’ eatery, Culina, the event attracted guests like Sheraton Kalouria and Selita Ebanks who perused the issue over Champagne on the restaurant’s idyllic outdoor patio. THE SCENE Following the cocktail hour, partygoers were invited to visit delicious food stations, which included everything from risotto with wild mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus and Parmesan cheese to charcuterie, bruschetta and more. THE HIGHLIGHTS To top off the evening, Angeleno honored Lee, Everett Orrick and Deborah Sawaf for their philanthropic work and fierce passion when it comes to paying it forward. Lee said it best: “I know firsthand what a life-changing difference charitable organizations can make—any chance to use my personal resources and experiences to create opportunities for those who need it the most feels like a great gift to me.” -Meg Mcguire
