CAA Young Hollywood

Recently the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) Los Angeles Task Force hosted its 18th annual Young Hollywood Party (YHP). The event brought together celebrities like Bella Thorne and professionals from across the entertainment and sports industries to help raise money to support Communities In Schools of Los Angeles (CISLA).

The Million Roses was present as a sponsor of the event, donating beautiful dome classic boxes with the signature Red Roses Classic Dome Boxes and two Deluxe customized CAA rose boxes.

Founded in 2002, the Task Force grew out of the desire of the agency’s staff to make a difference. Each year, the Task Force gives time and money to support multiple causes and organizes benefits in Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, and London. These benefits not only raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, but also aim to introduce staff across the entertainment industry to the world of philanthropy.

THE CAUSE

Communities in Schools Los Angeles

The mission of Communities In Schools (CIS) is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Through school-based coordinators, CIS connects students and their families to critical community resources tailored to local needs.

CISLA provides services to over 12,800 at-risk students at thirteen traditional public schools throughout LA: Liechty Middle School, Hollenbeck Middle School, Mendez High School, 99th Street Elementary, Grape Street Elementary, Jordan High School, Markham Middle School, Hamilton High School, Daniel Webster Middle School, Mark Twain Middle School, 107th Street Elementary, Santee Educational Complex, and Clinton Middle School.
