Children’s Burn Foundation honored longtime benefactors, Kathy and Charlie Toppino, at its 27th Annual Giving New Hope Celebration at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on March 8.  Nearly 500 guests turned out for the evening, which raised more than $1.8 million for young burn survivors and their families.

For the past 21 years the Toppinos have been devoted to the  foundation’s  programs. In paying tribute to the couple, Doug Mancino, CBF board chair emeritus, said, “Kathy has been a highly effective board  chair of the foundation for six years, and before that, a strong leader of the CBF council, and Charlie has been a tireless fundraiser. Together, they make a great team!”

Kathy Toppino told of her pride in the CBF’s latest accomplishment.  “In an instant, a child’s whole life can be shattered by a severe burn,” she said. “Because we know that most childhood burns are preventable,  we have opened “Fire! Science & Safety,”  a permanent exhibit at the California Science Center in Exposition Park,  which will educate more than 350,000 children each year and quadruple our outreach. We have also expanded our global outreach with another mission to the Ukraine and we are continuing our support of a Burn Center of Excellence in Africa.”

A memorable highlight of the evening was the participation of teenage burn survivors  who shared  their experiences with CBF that included   comprehensive healing, psychological support and state-of-the-art plastic surgeries.

Fritz Coleman, NBC4’s witty weatherman emeritus, and a CBF board member, emceed the doings, with help from “Battle of the Chefs” host Chuck Dukas who presided over the live auction. The evening was co-chaired by Deb and Alan Barbanel, Lynda and Al Fidel and Adria and Pedro Marti . Among the attendees were L.A. City Fire Chief Ralph Terrazas and incoming L.A. City Fire Chief Kristen Crowley.

OSCAR OVERTURE

Celebrating 30 years, the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising opened its iconic annual exhibition, “The Art of Costume Design in  Film,” at the FIDM Gallery for a sneak preview of the creations from the designers nominated for the upcoming Academy Awards. More than 300 designers, studio reps, FIDM benefactors and an assortment of fashionistas turned out for the event, held on March 12, prior to the public opening on March 15.

The Oscar-nominated designers in attendance included Jacqueline West for “Dune,” Paul Tazewell for “West Side Story,” Mark Bridges for “Licorice Pizza” and Mary Zophres for “The Tragedy of Macbeth.”

Other film designers on the scene were Salvador Perez, president of the  Costume Designers Guild, Julie Weiss, Arianne Phillips, Nancy Steiner, Laura Montgomery and Jo Kissack.

Also spotted were FIDM execs Tonian Hohberg, Barbara Bundy, Nick Verreos, David Paul, Kevin Jones and Jacqueline Saint Anne.

This exhibit, which is free to the public,  is the only one in the world that pays homage to the creativity of costume designers. The FIDM Museum has one of the nation’s finest costume collections of more than 15,000 objects, dating from the 18th century. It is  open through June 4, and well worth a trip to the FIDM campus in downtown Los Angeles.
