The lesson and lunch, which promise to be raucous, will be professionally filmed by VICE. Footage will be given to the winning bidder, and excerpts may be included on Action’s show for Munchies, which follows his culinary adventures during his ongoing world tour.
WHY:
Autism Awareness and service development is a cause close to both VIPs’ hearts. Schwab’s son and Action’s nephew have Autism. Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health provides supported community living and employment services to Schwab’s son and tens of thousands of others with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental health struggles across the country every year.
Schwab serves as a member of the Board of Trustees at Devereux; is a co-founder of Autism Speaks and a member of its Housing and Residential Supports Committee; and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Empowering Citizens with Autism. In his role of Co-President of VICE Media, he works to grow VICE's reach and impact, expanding its content and distribution platforms. Last month, Schwab finalized the deal on Vice’s first 24-hour premium network. Before joining Vice, while partner at the international law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison, Schwab served as long-term counsel and strategic adviser to VICE on its overall business strategy, including in its partnerships with A&E Networks, Rogers Communications, YouTube, Live Nation, HBO, and more.
