The Giving A Smile Foundation will hold its first fundraising gala on Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The black-tie event aims to raise funds for the Foundation’s new year-round, no-cost dental clinic, which will serve underserved youth up to age 24 throughout the Los Angeles area.
Emmy-winning actor, producer, and director Kelsey Grammer will serve as Master of Ceremonies. Grammer will lead the evening’s program and encourage attendees to help the Foundation reach its $1 million fundraising goal.
The gala will feature a headlining performance by Robin Thicke. The five-time Grammy-nominated singer and producer, also a judge on Fox’s The Masked Singer, is known for his R&B and pop music career and ongoing philanthropic work.
The clinic, funded by gala proceeds, will provide essential dental care to children and young adults who cannot afford treatment. Donations will support both the clinic’s launch and its ongoing operations, including advanced dental services, preventive education, and community outreach. The Foundation aims to bring together community leaders, celebrities, industry partners, and supporters to promote oral health equity in Los Angeles.
The evening, presented by Beverly Hills cosmetic dentists Rifkin Ranaan, will also honor four distinguished figures for their support of the Foundation’s mission. Award recipients include Lorrie Bartlett of CAA with the Guiding Light Award, JR Dzubak with the Visionary Impact Award, Dr. Katja Van Herle with the Healing Hands Award, and Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian with the Humanitarian Leadership Award.
Guests will enjoy a chef-curated sit-down dinner by The Beverly Hilton’s culinary team, along with live entertainment and performances. The program will include patient testimonials that illustrate the Foundation’s impact. Attendees will also have opportunities to participate in fundraising activities, including auctions and direct giving moments, to support the new clinic.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for individuals, corporations, and organizations seeking to contribute to the Foundation’s work. Tickets and donations can be made through the Foundation’s website.
By attending, sponsoring, or donating to the 2025 Annual Gala, supporters will help establish a permanent, no-cost dental clinic that aims to improve the lives of thousands of young people in Los Angeles.
In addition to the new clinic, the Foundation plans to launch two fully equipped mobile dental units. These mobile clinics will bring free dental care directly into underserved communities, expanding access and removing barriers to treatment for children and young adults across Los Angeles.
