Deets: The Alexis Project and Arquette family hosted a one-of-a-kind tribute to Alexis Arquette and fundraiser for The Alexis Project, a program of VIP Community Mental Health Center (VIP). Rosanna and David Arquette were on hand for an incredible night featuring: hostessing by L.A. drag legend, Jackie Beat; The McLarens spinning at the turntable; special performances from Sherry Vine and trans actress Candis Cayne; personal remembrances from Rosanna and David Arquette, Stephen Baldwin, and Milla Jovovich; delicious hors d’oeuvres and Alexis-inspired cocktails from Poppy; and more!

The red carpet event was media sponsored by Gurus Magazine, with sponsorship support from Pritzker Foster Care Initiative, The Tom Petty Family, and The H.wood Group.

When Alexis Arquette tragically passed away on September 11, 2016, she left behind a legacy of art, activism, and community. A partnership between the Alexis Arquette Family Foundation and VIP Community Mental Health Center, The Alexis Project was formed that same year to honor Alexis's memory, while also serving the unique needs of LGBTQ+ individuals across Los Angeles County. Today, The Alexis Project remains steadfast in its commitment to providing comprehensive, integrated care for transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse patients. Members of The Alexis Project staff and team were on-hand at the event, with founders Dr. Astrid Heger and Dr. Tracey Samko delivering keynote addressed to the rapt Poppy audience. 

Spotted: David Arquette, Rosanna Arquette, Candis Cayne, Milla Jovovich, Joely Fisher, Frances Fisher, Barry Shils, Michael Des Barres, Derek Warburton (Gurus), Jackie Beat, Sherry Vine; Stephen Baldwin, and representatives from Los Angeles Board of Supervisor Lindsey Horvath’s office.
