The Californer/10362766

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Diamond in the RAW Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering teen girls through the arts, media, technology and entertainment, will present its inaugural Diamonds & Decision Makers Community Mixer on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. at the SLS Hotel Beverly Hills.

The exclusive, invitation-only reception will bring together entertainment industry executives, corporate decision-makers, philanthropists and influential community leaders for an intimate evening of networking, meaningful conversations and relationship-building. Designed to connect individuals whose leadership and influence can open doors, the gathering will create opportunities for new collaborations that support the next generation of young women.

Emmy Award-winning journalist and Los Angeles Lakers sideline reporter Roqui Theus will host the evening, bringing her experience in sports, entertainment and broadcast journalism to this special gathering.

The Foundation will recognize Jane Owen, founder and CEO of Jane Owen Public Relations, as its Luminary Honoree, celebrating her professional achievements, influence within the entertainment industry and commitment to inspiring future generations of women.

Founded in 2005 by veteran Hollywood stuntwoman and stunt coordinator La Faye Baker, Diamond in the RAW Foundation has spent more than two decades introducing young women to educational experiences, mentorship and career pathways that might otherwise remain beyond their reach.

The organization's programs emphasize personal development, leadership, confidence-building and professional exploration through hands-on experiences in entertainment, media and S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics).

Through initiatives such as Girls in Action, teen participants gain exposure to Hollywood stunt performance and action arts, learning from experienced industry professionals while developing teamwork, discipline, confidence and an understanding of careers behind the camera.

Additional programming introduces participants to podcasting, digital storytelling, media production and essential life skills that prepare them to navigate educational, professional and personal opportunities.

The Diamonds & Decision Makers Community Mixer represents an opportunity for the Foundation to strengthen relationships with individuals and organizations positioned to make a lasting difference in the lives of young women.

Unlike a traditional fundraising gala, the reception is designed to encourage authentic engagement between influential leaders and the young women served by Diamond in the RAW Foundation.

Guests will have an opportunity to meet participating teen girls, learn about the organization's impact and explore potential partnerships, mentorship opportunities and corporate involvement.

A select silent auction featuring exclusive items and experiences will also support the Foundation's educational programs.

AN EXCLUSIVE INVITATION TO LEADERS WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The invitation-only reception offers a unique opportunity for entertainment executives, corporate decision-makers, philanthropists and influential community leaders to connect in an intimate setting where meaningful conversations can lead to lasting impact.
