48th Annual Dinner Gala

SABAN COMMUNITY CLINIC HONORS CASEY BLOYS, HBO AND MAX CONTENT CHAIRMAN AND CEO; DAVID EILENBERG, ROKU HEAD OF CONTENT; AND HAYDEN MEYER, IAG EXECUTIVE VP, AT THE 48TH ANNUAL DINNER GALA

BEVERLY HILLS, CA - November 12, 2024 – Friends and supporters from the entertainment industry gathered to honor Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, David Eilenberg, Roku’s Head of Content, and Hayden Meyer, Executive VP & Department Head of the Independent Artist Group, for their philanthropic efforts in advancing health equity in Los Angeles. Comedian and talk show host, Conan O’Brien, served as Master of Ceremonies for the gala at The Maybourne Beverly Hills on November 11th, 2024, raising over $2 million in support of Saban Community Clinic’s pediatric mental health program. The evening also featured a musical performance from Billboard charting singer-songwriter, Stephen Sanchez.

Emmy award-winning actress Laura Dern introduced longtime friend Bloys who received the Leadership Award. In his acceptance speech, Bloys shared the Clinic’s profound impact on patients who live below the Federal Poverty Line. “This past year, 24,000 of our neighbors in Los Angeles who are just making ends meet were able to get access to basic medical, dental, and mental health care because of the hard work and devotion of the Saban clinic staff, the board of directors and you, the donors. I can think of no better use of our time and resources than keeping a vulnerable population of our city physically and mentally healthy.”

Both Meyer and Eilenberg were honored with The Lenny Somberg Award. Eilenberg, the longtime member of the Friends of Saban Community Clinic Board, highlighted the connection between the entertainment industry and the mission of Saban. “So many of us are here in this community, in this industry, in the first place, because we know there’s nothing better than a great story and the notion that there are so many thousands of real-life great stories that all begin with a first step through the Clinic’s doors keeps me motivated to do whatever it takes to keep those doors open and this organization thriving.”
