Big Kids Care charity red carpet event scheduled for July 21, 2010 has made the move to the brand new XAI Verandah Lounge on Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles based Talent Management Company; ARC Talent Management is hosting this event because they are strong supporters of the SBC P.R.I.M.E. Program for at-risk youth. This event will cater to entertainment industry professionals and was previously set to take place at another well-known Hollywood Venue. When co-owner Christina Williams was asked why she decided to make the change she said, “It was a no-brainer. Owner Nadia Fakih was so kind and supportive and so willing to help for the cause. The venue was absolutely breathtaking and the staff and food was amazing. It was obviously the right move to make for all parties involved.”
The XAI Verandah Lounge is located at 7677 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90046. As stated on their website, the lounge blends the flavors of the Mediterranean with a contemporary California feel. The goal of XAI is to push tea back into the spotlight. It has an outdoor terrace and an indoor dining room and a large sanctuary seating up to 400 people. It overlooks Sunset Blvd. www.xailounge.com
