The annual ‘party-with-a-purpose’ featured red carpet arrivals, with the carpet being hosted by award-winning journalist and media personality Segun Oduolowu. A live auction took place with rare items from The LA Lakers and LeBron James, A Dancing with the Stars experience, a stay at The Peninsula Beverly Hills and tickets to the famous LA vs. The Bay game with The Dodgers and The Giants in May among various other luxury items.
This prestigious event honored Tina Knowles with the Dream Builder Award for her for her unwavering commitment to uplifting communities of color around the world, U.S. Bank received the Foundation Builder Award for their continued commitment to providing access to affordable housing, and Brookfield Residential was named the 2026 Builder of the Year for its steadfast support of Habitat LA’s mission to build more affordable housing across Los Angeles.

“Habitat LA is, in this very moment, making sure that homeownership is possible for first time homebuyers and that people who have suffered in these wildfires have hope,” said Habitat LA President and CEO Erin Rank. “This year has been emotional for a lot of us; 12,000 people became homeless overnight, without any warning. I've been filled with hope, seeing Angelinos come forward and be willing to offer whatever they can. That’s really the humanity part of Habitat for Humanity that we rely on every day. It's the volunteers who step forward, to meet people where they are, and make sure that they have a warm and safe place to live.”

Other notable attendees included Andy Richter, Adina Porter, Lakers legends Bryon Scott and his wife Cece Sott, Pastor Jonathan DeCuir and civil right attorney Areva Martin among many others.
