2015 Eagle & Badge Gala - A Very Memorable Evening!
From the opening Red Carpet reception through the amazing closing act "The Tenors", this year's Eagle & Badge Gala was a superb evening of tribute and entertainment. KTLA's Wendy Burch hosted with style and grace as we honored three outstanding individuals - actress/activist Catherine Bach, producer/community leader Jon Sheinberg, and attorney/youth advocate Rocky Delgadillo - and guests were treated to entertainment for the SoCal Vocals (from USC), guitarist Rob Bonfiglio, and capped by The Tenors closing set.
E&B President Peter Repovich welcomed the guests and introduced Honorary Chair Mayor Eric Garcetti for opening remarks. The evening also paid tribute to the LAPPL's Distinguished Service Honorees along with the LAPD's Medal of Valor and Purple Heart recipients in dramatic presentations. Special guests on stage included LAPD Deputy Chiefs Bob Green and Michel Moore, plus Melissa Claire Egan, from The Young & The Restless, former City Attorney Nuch Trutanich, and a lively LIVE auction was conducted by Chrishell Stause from Days of our Lives, and Sophia Lopez.
