Denicola Enterprises, along with ScholasTICS Tourette Supporters and Southern California Tourette Association recently had their annual Team Up for Tourette’s Red Carpet Brunch & Fundraiser on June 9th. The event was held at Preux & Proper in Downtown Los Angeles from 12-5PM where delicious southern food was served as well as great cocktails.

The founder of Denicola Enterprises and producer of the event, Devin Denicola has a close relationship with Tourette which explains why he holds it dear to his heart. It all began when he was a kid: “I was diagnosed with Tourette’s when I was seven years old. It was fairly new back then. Not many people knew what it was so everything was trial and error with medications, treatments, things like that. Since then, I’ve been focusing on trying to figure out a way that I can help other people with Tourette’s.”

It was a beautiful day in Downtown and the fundraiser went smoothly. A great group of people came together to support the cause from recording artist El-Jay to Sean Toohey, Founder of Toohey Ties as well as influencer Amanda Paris and more. The room was filled with jazz, laughter, and positive vibes as the guests enjoyed the chef’s work and took part in the auction.

In the end, we can all do our part to share informed knowledge with others, increasing awareness and that’s exactly what Devin Denicola did.

Peroni Italia
Peroni Brewery is a brewing company, founded by Francesco Peroni in Vigevano, Italy in 1846. It is probably best known worldwide for its premium lager, Nastro Azzurro (5.1% ABV), which was the 13th best-selling beer in the United Kingdom in 2010. The Peroni company was established under the founding family name in the town of Vigevano, Italy, in 1846. The company was moved to Rome by Giovanni Peroni in 1864, six years prior to Rome becoming the Italian capital in 1870. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the company became one of the most prominent brewing companies in the newly unified Italian nation.

By the 1990s, both the Peroni brand name and product line were distributed and known worldwide. The London-based brewing giant SABMiller bought the company in 2003, making it one of the few international brands in its portfolio. Peroni was bought from SABMiller by the Japanese brewing giant Asahi in February 2016.

CURTIS & Co.
Businessman and magazine publishing legend Curtis Wong traveled to Europe, he was fascinated by the watches he would see in all the stores from London, to Paris to Munich to Geneva, and beyond. As a young boy, he loved watches and timepieces and that passion only grew stronger with each passing year. And as his business grew and became more successful, he began collecting watches from many of the world’s best watchmakers. He envisioned a watch unlike anything any other watchmaker made, and so very different from anything else he could find. It had to be elegant. It had to be exceptional. It needed to be high-tech and use the world’s most cutting-edge and advanced technologies.

Preux & Proper
Hailing from humble beginnings in Baton Rouge, LA, owner/operator Joshua Kopel wanted to bring a little bit of The South to Southern California. In 2010 he opened Five0Four, a New Orleans style bar, in Hollywood. Four years later, Kopel looked to DTLA, broadened his focus from Bourbon Street to The South as a whole, and opened up Preux & Proper. In walks Sammy Monsour, a third generation chef that grew up in his father’s kitchen in Chapel Hill, NC.  Kopel and Monsour hit it off instantly, and what came to fruition was the best kind of Southern. Monsour’s food encompasses his classical training at the CIA, his Lebanese ancestry, and his Southern roots.

Drip Doctors
A small group of brainstorming Emergency Physicians and Providers who took a concept we saw for treating the critically ill, intoxicated, and health deficient to a new era of modern medical care. After years of working in the ER, we saw the benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy and wanted to make it accessible so people did not have to wait for hours to be treated at the hospital. Since then, we have treated countless people that are vitamin and nutrient deficient, with various IV infusions and treatments to slow down or reverse adverse effects on their mental and physical health. We hope to encourage the preventative practice of optimizing health and wellness by giving your body the much needed nutrients that prevent damage or decrease brain function or physical performance.

Sunstone Vineyards & Winery
When the Rice Family moved in 1989 from Santa Barbara to a peaceful 52-acre Santa Ynez ranch to grow wine grapes, little did they know that they would be stewards to one of the first organic vineyard estates in Santa Barbara County. Fred and Linda, along with son Bion, and daughters Ashley and Brittany, originally chose the terraced site overlooking the Santa Ynez River for its ideal south-sloping exposure, its sandy, rocky soil, and a micro-climate that features early morning fog, warm, breezy afternoons, and cool evenings. It proved to be a fortuitous choice, as they soon discovered that it was a perfect spot for the growing of top-notch organic grapes and enjoying a wine country lifestyle.

Crunch Fitness
Crunch was founded in 1989 as a fitness studio by Doug Levine, a former stockbroker.[1][2] The clubs became popular by appealing to young upscale members and featuring heavy promotions and marketing with some humorous and sexual connotations. They were initially profitable in large part due to successful promotion of logo merchandise sales within the clubs.[3] They featured some unusual classes such as pole dancing, bicycle-based yoga, coed wrestling, an “Abs, Thighs and Gossip” class run by a drag queen, and Capoeira.[2] Although the classes were later standardized across various locations, some popular offbeat classes remained, such as dodgeball and karaoke bicycling.
