We’re happy to support the 13th annual Thanks Givends Benefit: a community effort to raise funds and awareness for programs incorporating the arts for underprivileged and at risk youth.

On Wednesday, November 23,  hundreds of artists, DJs, musicians, promoters, media, and individuals who love an uplifting event with a bona fide cause,  will gather together in support of Thanks Givends. This year’s event  will benefit the Marvista Family Center, Sound Art, Peace4Kids, and Pio Pico MS Music Program.

Guests can expect multiple hosts, DJs, and live art from 9pm until 4am at Los Globos Nightclub, located at 3040 W. Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA. It a 21 & over event with $10 admission.

We first heard about Thanks Givends years ago from its founder, Carlos Guaico aka “Loslito” of The Rebirth and Walk Talkin events. The multi-talented singer, songwriter, musician, DJ, producer and promoter holds the event dear to his heart and works year-round to unify efforts that benefit  the community.
