Matt Bomer and Debbie Allen will be honored at Project Angel Food’s 35th anniversary Angel Awards gala in Los Angeles.
Allen will receive the Humanitarian Angel Award while Bomer will be recognized with the Angel Award.
In addition, the Sheryl Lee Ralph Legacy Award will be presented to L.A. Care Health Plan and its CEO John Baackes. Grammy-nominated singer and Broadway star and producer Deborah Cox will give a special performance during the evening’s festivities. Celebrity auctioneer Billy Harris will lead this year’s live auction which will feature one-of-a-kind culinary experiences.
“The Angel Awards are a testament to the incredible individuals who inspire us and propel our mission forward,” Project Angel Food CEO Richard Ayoub said in a statement Thursday. “It’s an evening of celebration, gratitude, and unity, where we come together to support the work of Project Angel Food that nourishes our vulnerable neighbors, delivers health and hope, and uplifts our entire community.”
The Angel Awards take place Sept. 28 at Milk Studios while construction is underway on Project Angel Food’s Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Campus, which will double the size of the organization’s existing facilities and triple capacity. Project Angel Food prepares and delivers more than 1.5 million medically tailored meals to 5,272 critically ill individuals in Los Angeles County each year. Since its founding in 1989, during the AIDS crisis by Marianne Williamson, Project Angel Food has delivered more than 18 million meals.
The gala is made possible by presenting sponsor L.A. Care Health Plan, along with title sponsor Wells Fargo.
