LOS ANGELES — Following a break due to the pandemic lockdown, Alt Erotic CEO and Creative Director Ivan has resumed his annual Children's Hospital Los Angeles toy drive in celebration of his birthday.
Ivan will hold a private, industry-only BBQ from 4-9 p.m. (PDT) on his actual birthday of March 23 at the home of Alt Erotic's owner Sascha Ink, where toy donations will be accepted; donations will be accepted through March 28 and delivered to the hospital on March 29.
"Ivan is one of the most generous people I know. Him and I have become great friends over the years and it’s my privilege to help out in any way I can. I am opening up my backyard for industry folks to donate and receive some fun Alt Erotic gifts in return," Sascha Ink said.
Due to current COVID safety restrictions, guests will be asked to RSVP before attending, wear a face mask and observe social distancing guidelines.
"I am so thrilled to finally be back doing these. It’s a great cause I always look forward to during the holidays and my birthday," Ivan said. "It’s exciting to see what we can gather to put smiles on children’s faces. Anyone who can, should come out and hang with the Alt Erotic crew."
"Or even just let me know where we can meet for me to pick up your donations," he added.
All toy donations will need to be in their original sealed packaging.
Industry members interested in attending the BBQ and donating to the toy drive should email ivan@alterotic.com or call (323) 397-5856.
