Event Recap

WALKING WITH ANTHONY RAISED MORE THAN $170,000

DURING THE COME TOGETHER SCREENING & FUNDRAISER ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2023, AT PORT THEATER IN CORONA DEL MAR, CA

Corona Del Mar, Ca. – In an effort to improve the lives of those affected by spinal cord injuries, Walking with Anthony hosted its “Come Together” charity fundraiser on Thursday, Sept. 14 at the New Port Theater.

This empowering event, sponsored by Flagstar Bank, Riviera Magazine, Fletcher Jones, JP Morgan, Macro Z Technology and Tito’s Handmade Vodka, aims to educate and raise awareness about the various obstacles that occur from spinal cord injuries (SCI). In honor of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month, the event’s initiative also served as an opportunity to acknowledge SCI survivors and their resilience.

While supporting and advocating for individuals with SCI, “Come Together” also captured the red carpet ambiance with the riveting debut of “The Lost Weekend: A Love Story.” This unreleased documentary recounts the romance between John Lennon and May Pang, his assistant. Following the showing, May Pang herself will be present for a Q&A.

Prior to the showing, attendees enjoyed the allurement of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres  and live music from 4 Lads from Liverpool, a Beatles tribute band. There was also a live auction hosted by the executive members of Walking with Anthony where all proceeds go towards assisting SCI survivors in gaining equal access to essential medical treatments.
