Concern Foundation’s 48th Annual Block Party Fundraiser Will Once Again Host Hundreds of Guests on the Paramount Backlot Saturday July 8 to Benefit Cancer Research
A place for entertainment and camaraderie, while never losing focus on the goal to conquer cancer now!
(FEATURED EVENT) On Saturday evening, July 8, 2023, Concern Foundation will host one of LA's most celebrated charity events: its 48th Annual Block Party on the backlot of Paramount Studios Hollywood. The anticipated sold-out event will once again be attended by an estimated 4,000 guests, with the goal of raising $2 million dollars for cancer research.
The theme for this year’s event will be THE LAND BEFORE TIME: THE EXTINCTION OF CANCER. Concern will be honoring the Kallick Family with the Lifetime of Giving Award and saluting Cedars Sinai Cancer for their groundbreaking work focused on conquering cancer.
The backlot streets will be filled with plenty of musical and interactive entertainment on multiple stages featuring the Tom Nolan Band on the main stage, D' City Sound & Events on the Yabba Dabba DJ Stage presented by the Hirsch Family Foundation and the Vibrato “Grotto” Grill Jazz stage. Throughout the venue, guests will find photo studios, lounges, casino style gaming, and beauty services provided by the Beauty Bus Foundation. One of the highlights of the evening will be the online silent and live auctions sponsored by ZACUTO GROUP that will feature items and packages including one-of-a-kind opportunities, concert and event tickets, restaurants, staycations, golf packages and many other wonderful items donated by friends throughout the community.
Concern is honored to celebrate The Best of LA 2023® on Los Angeles Magazine Street for the 17th year, which will feature lounges, photo booths, food stations, DJ dancing, and much, much more. Los Angeles magazine will once again make a financial contribution to Concern to help further their mission.
Great food and beverages will be found up and down every street including notable mainstays of the Block Party, such as Vibrato Grill Jazz, The Grill on the Alley, Factor’s Famous Deli, A.O.C., Fogo de Chao, Someone’s In The Kitchen, Dulan’s Soul Food, Nobu Malibu, STK, Porta Via, Maria’s Italian Kitchen, H & H Brazilian Steakhouse, Milagro Tequila, Deutsch Family, and Pink’s Famous Hot Dogs just to name a few. Joining Concern for the first time are Calajo Catering, Brique LA, The Breakfast Club, The Hideaway, Leona’s Sushi House, The Village, Firefly and many more joining every day.
Starting from a simple idea back in the early 70’s that has grown to become a reality with thousands of moving parts is the one thing that sets Concern’s signature Block Party apart from most other organizations in this city.
