The sold out event was held at Lakeside Golf Club in Toluca Lake and raised over $700,000. Money raised goes directly to help send kids with kidney disease to summer camp.

“When I got better, I decided that my mission was going to be to try and help kids,” George Lopez told us before teeing off.

George was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2004. During his recovery, the comedian made it his mission to help kids fighting kidney disease. He started the George Lopez Foundation to give back.

The organization’s mission reads: “To create positive, permanent change for underprivileged children, adults and military families confronting challenges in education and health, as well as increasing community awareness about kidney disease and organ donation.”

For the past 10 years, Lopez has hosted his successful golf outing as a primary fundraiser for his organization.

Despite the pain, the talented singer’s family is making it their mission to celebrate Grimmie’s life and wonderful voice.

On what would have been the singer’s 23rd birthday earlier this month, the family released a brand new music video for Christina’s single “Invisible.”

Last year, Good Celebrity hosted “The Voice” star in our headquarters. Grimmie gave us a live performance of her single “With Love” and chatted with us about her charity work.

Christina’s performance was nothing short of amazing. In-between takes, she’d joke around and try different versions and melodies of her songs.

In fact, on a whim she decided to play her song “With Love” in a completely different key than she ever had before. The version above was ultimately the performance we published, unique and 100% original, and a truly special gift from Christina to Good Celebrity.

I’ll never forget it, and am so thankful to have experienced her talent up close and SO personally. Her incredible music filled every inch of our space.

Her family’s unique tribute was a testament to her creative side. Christina loved video games, as you can tell by her YouTube channel name, “zeldaxlove64.”

In the music video, Christina is recreated as an animated superhero.

Christina’s brother Marcus Grimmie, who accompanied her to the studio when she visited us, wrote about his sister on Instagram when the video was released and said, “I know you would love this sis.”

He shared another tribute to his sis on her birthday, posting a photo of the pair performing together.

Happy Birthday Christina I love you.

Check out the music video and our interview with Christina below!

In addition, the magazine Tremblay honored Grimmie with a tribute edition 10 months after her death.

“I am so honored that I was able to work with her for what little time we had,” video producer Kurt Hugo Schneider writes for his tribute. “We were able to make something that people enjoy.”

#TeamGrimmie we’re excited about Tremblay Magazine’s tribute to Christina. Thank you @ZackTremblay https://t.co/jDVK59lV1E #CGforever pic.twitter.com/EsawZmKjmy

— Christina Grimmie (@TheRealGrimmie) March 23, 2017

“Christina was one of the most genuine people I’ve known, she was such a sweetheart and was so beloved by everyone. What you saw was what you got. I am happy that she will live on.”

Christina Grimmie

In December of last year, we had the pleasure of hosting The Voice contestant Christina Grimmie inside our headquarters. This talented soul chatted with us about her amazing charity work and performed an exclusive version of her hit, “With Love.”

Christina tragically passed away this year after she was shot while signing autographs outside of a concert in Florida. Our thoughts and prayers remain with her and her family. We are so honored to have had the pleasure of getting to know Christina.

Larry Bakman

Judge Larry Bakman leaves his seat on the syndicated television series, “Hot Bench,” to educate children and teens in Los Angeles about the dangers of gangs and drug addiction through the organization, New Directions for Youth.

“Recognizing the problem allows you to get inside the minds of the parents and the children who you think you can save, who you can educate and at least give them options on what they can do to avoid falling into that culture.”

Danielle Moinet AKA Summer Rae

She’s a ray of arrogant sunshine in the WWE ring but when she’s not body slamming opponents, Danielle Moinet (aka Summer Rae) is actively involved in charity, specifically her family’s organization, the Dean Thomas Moinet Foundation.

Moinet also works with the USO, Special Olympics and the WWE’s Be a STAR anti-bullying campaign.

Susan Holmes McKagan

We caught up with the lovely Susan Holmes McKagan backstage at Style Fashion Week Los Angeles 2016. The blonde beauty, who is married to Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, walked the runway for couture designer Farah Angsana in support of her Life Foundation, which advocates for the homeless and orphans in Indonesia.

In addition, Susan talked about her swimwear line, which she uses to raise money for various causes.

“I have a creative outlet while bringing awareness to various causes that are near and dear to my heart,” she said.

Case Keenum

Fresh off their return to Los Angeles the NFL’s Rams are already scoring with residents of the city of angels thanks to their charity work.

Starting quarterback Case Keenum and his teammates suited up and took to the red carpet in support for Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles as part of the Inaugural Los Angeles Rams Night for Wishes.

For Keenum, his charitable work doesn’t end with Make-A-Wish.

“A big part of my life and my story growing up was Fellowship of Christian Athletes,” Keenum said. “I do sports camps in the summer…it’s a big part of what I do and I think there’s a lot of good people out there that could use your support,” he added.

Todd Gurley

Todd Gurley is one of the most talented running backs in the National Football League but his skills extend far beyond the field of play.

Thanks to the relocation of the Rams, Gurley is now a member of the Los Angeles community and he’s giving back with his teammates through the Greater Los Angeles chapter of Make-A-Wish.

Eastwood Ranch Foundation

Alison Eastwood’s father, legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood, made a name for himself starring in some of the greatest westerns of all time and now the actress is making her mark by hitting the ranch.

A staunch advocate for animal rights, Alison co-founded the Eastwood Ranch Foundation, which assists in the welfare and rescue of animals through campaigns, events and education.

Good Celebrity caught up with Eastwood at the 2nd Annual Art for Animals event in June 2016.

“I am inspired by the fact there is such a need to help animals out there,” Eastwood said.

Joanna Krupa

When she’s not walking the runways, Poland-born model Joanna Krupa is lending her support for animal rights. Good Celebrity caught up with Krupa at Alison Eastwood’s 2nd Annual Art for Animals fundraiser in June 2016.

“All the animal people have to stick together,” Krupa said. “Whenever I’m in town and there’s an animal related event of course I’m going to come support it.”

Krupa also dished on her animal rescue, Angels for Animal Rescue.

“We try to do whatever we can, one animal at a time,” she said.

Bojana Novakovic

If there is an actress whose name matches her personality it’s, Bojana Novakovic. Pronounced BOY-YANA, her name is just fun to say!

Always good for an interview, the Serbian-born actress stopped for a chat on the red carpet of the Eastwood Ranch Foundation’s 2nd Annual Art for Animals fundraiser.

Among the topics were her faux fur attire, goat photography skills, and her next visit to Nepal (which may or may not include a climb of Mt. Everest…at least to the base camp).
