Children’s Institute to Honor Netflix’s Channing Dungey and Long-Time Supporters Bridget Gless Keller & Paul Keller at 2nd Annual Cape & Gown Gala on October 30, 2019
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) September 04, 2019 -- Children’s Institute (CII), the social impact organization dedicated to transforming the lives of children exposed to adversity and poverty in Los Angeles, announced they will honor Netflix’s Channing Dungey and long-time supporters Bridget Gless Keller & Paul Keller at the 2nd Annual Cape & Gown Gala on October 30 in Santa Monica.
In addition to her position as Vice President, Original Series, at Netflix, Channing Dungey is deeply committed to advocating for educational resources and life changing services on behalf of disadvantaged children and families in Los Angeles.
“CII has done a wonderful job bringing healing and opportunity to underserved children and families, a cause that is near and dear to me as a parent. I am humbled by their recognition and honored to champion their efforts in creating programs that bring meaningful change,” Dungey said.
Bridget Gless Keller, CII Watts Building Committee Chair, and Paul Keller, Chairman of Mack Real Estate Development, have been active supporters of CII’s mission for over a decade. Together, they are leading the charge to build the organization’s new, Frank Gehry-designed Watts campus, slated to break ground by the end of 2019.
“The impact that CII has on the lives of children in Los Angeles is extraordinary, and I can’t imagine what our city would be without it. And to bring the architecture of Frank Gehry to the children of Watts, to help create a timeless landmark for that community, is a profound honor,” Bridget Gless Keller said.
“Bridget and I learned compassion from our parents, we love Los Angeles, and we are committed to helping and mentoring kids. Those passions converge at CII, which is building a brighter future for LA’s children,” Paul Keller said.
The event will include a cocktail reception, seated dinner and live auction hosted by Billy Harris. The revenue from table, ticket, advertising and auction sales will fund Children’s Institute’s strategic plan initiatives for this fiscal year. Last year’s inaugural gala honoring Beth & Bob Lowe and Frank, Berta & Sam Gehry raised over $1.9 million for the organization.
