HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Live Nation-Hewitt Silva and the Los Angeles County Parks Foundation awarded four $25,000 grants as part of the First Annual Hollywood Bowl Community Grant Program to the Hollywood Dell Civic Association, Hollywood Heights Association, Outpost Estates Neighborhood Association and Whitley Heights Civic Association. Live Nation-Hewitt Silva donated $100,000 to the LACPF to fund the grant program, which awarded grants of up to $25,000 to eligible communities for programs, services and neighborhood beautification projects that enhance the quality of life for neighbors of the Hollywood Bowl.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen my District gained the neighborhoods surrounding the Hollywood Bowl, I focused on increasing transparency between the Bowl and the community. My priority was to take into account residents\u2019 concerns,\u201d said\u00a0Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger. \u201cI appreciate Andy Hewitt and Bill Silva for also prioritizing community outreach and funding this grant program that directly benefits those who are most impacted by the Hollywood Bowl. I congratulate all of this year\u2019s recipients and look forward to seeing these new projects and programs being implemented in neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hollywood Bowl is one of the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation\u2019s most beloved performance venues. It\u2019s a treasure and iconic destination for Los Angeles County residents and visitors. Because it\u2019s a well-known destination, we work hard, along with Supervisor Barger and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, to be good neighbors to the surrounding neighborhoods,\u201d said Norma E. Garc\u00eda-Gonz\u00e1lez, Director of the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation and Board Secretary of the Los Angeles County Parks Foundation. \u201cWe would like to thank Live Nation-Hewitt Silva for their very generous donation and look forward to the community-driven beautification projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents who live near the Hollywood Bowl welcome over 500,000 people from around the world who attend Live Nation-Hewitt Silva shows in their communities,\u201d stated Andrew Hewitt and Bill Silva of Hewitt Silva and Geni Lincoln of Live Nation. \u201cWe believe that being good neighbors is important, and we would like to thank Supervisor Barger, the Los Angeles County Parks Foundation and all the neighborhood associations that applied for grants this year for helping us achieve that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a public Los Angeles County park, the Hollywood Bowl is an iconic cultural and natural resource for all Angelenos and visitors from around the world, and we\u2019re committed to creating excellent experiences for anyone who visits this treasured landmark in the Hollywood Hills. We applaud Andy Hewitt, Bill Silva, Live Nation and the\u00a0Los Angeles County Parks\u00a0Foundation for\u00a0their\u00a0support of our local communities, and we\u2019re excited to continue finding new ways to engage with our neighbors,\u201d said Daniel Song, Chief Operating Officer at the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association (LA Phil). The Hollywood Bowl is managed by the LA Phil and Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation, with Live Nation-Hewitt Silva as the LA Phil\u2019s lease event partner.<\/p>\n

On Monday, July 28, a reception and dinner honoring the grant recipients was attended by Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation Norma Garcia, Andy Hewitt and Bill Silva of Hewitt Silva, Geni Lincoln of Live Nation and Laura Connelly of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association.

\u201cWe are so grateful to partner with the Los Angeles County Parks Foundation and Live Nation-Hewitt Silva. This grant program is a perfect example of how many organizations can communicate and work together to enrich the lives of the people they serve and we look forward to implementing Phase 1 of the Highland\/Camrose Gateway Project with the Lila Lakich-designed Neon sign for the Hollywood Bowl communities to enjoy! So many great things are happening because people like LACPF and LNHS listen to the people they serve and care to make a difference!\u201d<\/p>\n
