The Day After Tomorrow: A Night to Rebuild, Reconnect, and Restore
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As a step towards the redevelopment and long-term revitalization of the communities impacted by the Pacific Palisades and Eaton Fires, Outstanding in the Field will produce a special Day After Tomorrow community table at the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium on Saturday, March 8, 2025, to benefit the Altadena Community Fund and the Palisades Community Fund.
With a focus on resilience and the power of community, supporters, first responders, and impacted community members will share a family-style, farm-to-table meal prepared by the city's most beloved chefs. 100% of the proceeds from the ticketed dinner will be distributed between the two community funds, which were established as vehicles for both immediate relief and long-term community restoration and stewardship.
"This is a powerful act of kindness by the food community to nourish the people of Altadena and the Palisades," said Outstanding in the Field Founder, Jim Denevan. "We feel privileged to set this healing table just miles from where the Eaton Fire burned with the participation of the farmers and winemakers that care for our land.
The Day After Tomorrow dinner was envisioned as a call to action and an opportunity for the community to rally around those impacted by the wildfires. Supporters can cement their place in the unprecedented restoration of Los Angeles by purchasing event tickets, making cash donations, or bidding for items and experiences during a live auction at the dinner or online through Charitybuzz. Donors are urged to "buy one and gift one" to seat a first responder or affected member of the community at the table.
Mickey Segal, chairman of the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation and Founder of NKSFB, said, "I am honored to be part of this amazing team that is driven to help those families that lost their homes in the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire. Our event at the Rose Bowl, America's stadium, will be a giant step forward in raising funds to help those who lost their homes.
Sam Bakhshandehpour, Pacific Palisades Resident, Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of José Andrés Group will provide additional support for the event.
"In the spirit of community and resilience, I'm proud to work alongside Outstanding in The Field to support rebuilding efforts in Los Angeles. The power of food to connect, heal and inspire is what our city needs, now more than ever. While our neighborhoods may be devastated, our community has never been stronger," said Bakhshandehpour
Tickets for the event are on sale at Outstanding in the Field. Additional details, including more ways to contribute to relief efforts, are available at palisadescommunityfund.org and altadenacommunityfund.org. Auction coming soon at Charitybuzz.com.
The Community Funds were founded by a group of local residents who saw an opportunity to empower Altadena and Pacific Palisades residents to have agency over their own fundraising and rebuilding efforts. Fund founding members include Kate Fishel and Bill Fishel, an Executive Vice Chairman with Newmark and current Chairman of the Board for Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles; Paul Fuhrman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Miramar Capital, Sam Bakhshandehpour, Global CEO of José Andrés Group; Mickey Segal, Founder and Managing Partner, NKSFB and Lindsay Petersen, Associate, Miramar Capital.
The Altadena Community Fund has been established to provide emergency-support to the Altadena community following the devastating 2025 wildfires, including to victims and their family members, as well as to support the ongoing economic, cultural and environmental revitalization of Altadena and the greater Los Angeles County region. The Fund is being operated as a fiscally sponsored project of the Edward Charles Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity which incubates charitable programs. The Fund intends to raise tax-deductible contributions to advance its vital mission, which includes grantmaking and establishing an enduring nonprofit which can support the well-being and redevelopment of the Altadena community.

Paris Hilton's $63M mansion buy led US home sales in June
Paris Hilton and her husband led the US real estate market in June with their pricey purchase of Mark Wahlberg's former megamansion. The mammoth Beverly Hills estate cost Hilton and her venture capitalist husband, Carter Reum, a cool $63 million. Their purchase topped out Redfin's top 10 list of the country's most expensive home sales, as did five other California-based transactions. Agents told CNBC the recent ranking reflects a pattern of luxury real estate regaining momentum in fire-ravaged Los Angeles. Advertisement 9 Paris Hilton, pictured in June. GC Images 9 Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, share two children — and a new place to call home. Evan Agostini/Invision/AP 9 Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham sold the impressive property for $55 million in 2023. Paul Barnaby Advertisement Indeed, Hilton and Reum, who share two young children, lost their $8.4 million oceanfront Malibu home to the Palisades Fire — one of several that raged through the state in January. Hilton was candid about the loss in a post to her millions of Instagram followers. 'Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,' the heiress and influencer wrote. The sheer scale of her family's new home makes its eye-watering $63 million price a little more understandable. 9 A sun-lit dining room.

The extensive grounds feature a sports court, a skate park, a five-hole golf course and a pool worthy of a waterpark. A main house and a guesthouse include a collective 12 bedrooms — as well as a wine and cigar cellar, a home theater and staff quarters. Advertisement The mansion's sellers made a tidy profit from the deal, CNBC reported, even accounting for Los Angeles' hefty mansion tax. Their success makes Mark Wahlberg's $55 million sale of the home in 2023 look sadly premature. Hilton and Reum's purchase is currently the fifth priciest home sale of 2025, according to Redfin. Nicole Plaxen, an agent with the Beverly Hills Estates, told CNBC that LA's luxury market is being driven by displaced homeowners like Hilton. Plaxen also noted a return in foreign buyers, especially from China. 9 The Palisades Fire claimed modest starter homes and A-lister mansions alike. London Entertainment for NY Post 9 Hilton closed on the home five months after losing her family's Malibu beach house. Paul Barnaby The other 50% of Redfin's chart-topping June sales took place elsewhere: Three in coastal Florida, one in Manhattan and another on Lake Tahoe's Nevada side. All 10 sold for more than $30 million. New York's appearance in the June rankings was credited to the sale of a 50-foot-wide mansion in Midtown Manhattan. The sprawling 22-bedroom residence just off Fifth Avenue was built for a cousin of J.P. Morgan during the city's Gilded Age. The seller, previously reported at real estate developer Orin Wilf, cinched a $38.2 million deal on the property. Neither Wilf's sale nor Hilton's purchase comes even close to the year's most expensive deal so far. That superlative belongs squarely with the $225 million sale of three adjacent beachfront properties in Naples, Florida. The April transaction marked the second-highest home sale ever in the US, trailing Ken Griffin's $238 million penthouse purchase at 220 Central Park South in early 2019.

The Soul of a House, the Heart of a Mountain: The Forever House Opens at Customs House Museum
Artist Arline Mann debuts her solo museum show, inspired by the magical old Elder House estate, August 7th. CLARKSVILLE, Tenn., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Artist Arline Mann will debut her first solo museum exhibition, The Forever House, at the Customs House Museum on August 7. This evocative collection of watercolor paintings is inspired by the Elder House, a historic 1920s estate atop Elder Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Through vibrant washes and intricate layering, Mann captures the essence of a Tennessee mountain home suspended in time, inviting viewers to share its mystique and joy. The Elder House was built by George Saffarrans Elder, a prosperous businessman who acquired over 3,000 acres to create a family home. Over a century later, the house remains largely unchanged. When Mann and her husband, Bob Katz, became its stewards, the house's quiet grandeur and historical charm became Mann's muse. 'The Elder House isn't just a home; it's a storybook of craftsmanship and the spirit of those who lived there,' said Arline Mann. 'The reasons we chose the house – the wonder of it – are the same feelings I wanted to project in the paintings.' Mann blends realism with reverie. Her focus on architectural details—arched windows, worn stone and timeless woodwork—becomes softened by translucent layers that evoke nostalgia and atmosphere. The Forever House is both a tribute to the past, and a personal reflection on the spaces we inhabit and the human history and beauty they hold. Mann's artistic journey began after a distinguished career as a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs. Driven by the same traits that fueled her career, she quickly transitioned into the art world, with her work exhibited at the National Arts Club and The Salmagundi Club in New York, as well as regionally at Chattanooga's River Gallery. The Forever House marks a significant moment in Mann's artistic journey: a museum debut rooted in personal discovery, creative reinvention, and a deep reverence for place. Exhibition Details: For more information, visit About the artist: Arline Mann has a pinwheel-shaped career history – all her paths lead from the center, not anything that came before! Her first work years were in the New York theatre world, as an assistant to a Broadway/London producer and directing aspirant. Then came decades of corporate lawyering, most as a Managing Director founding and running the Global Employment Law Group at Goldman Sachs. And now as a serious watercolorist, looking forward to her first solo museum show this year.
