CAA’s Young Hollywood Party Brings Assistants Together for a Good Cause

The Hollywood Reporter · 13 hours ago

CAA hosted its 22nd annual Young Hollywood party on Thursday, an "Old Hollywood"-themed benefit for Communities in School of Los Angeles held at Avalon Hollywood. The event, organised entirely by assistants on the CAA Task Force, has become a long-running fundraising tradition that also serves as a celebration of assistants across the entertainment industry, with CAA leadership praising the young staff for organising it alongside their regular jobs.

Over the past two decades, the Young Parties have raised more than $5.6 million for nonprofit partners, with similar events held in New York, Nashville, London and Munich raising a combined $270,000 in 2025 alone, though the Los Angeles event remains the largest. Tickets cost $165 each, with an online auction adding to the total, and funds go towards CISLA's case managers and school programmes. The party featured decor, live music, a tarot reader and food from Pink's Hot Dogs and Boa Steakhouse, with tables bought by Paramount and other companies, and guests including Algee Smith, Lexi Minetree and Harry Jowsey in attendance.
