ECOLUXE Pre-ESPYS Sports Lounge Brings Together Celebrities, Athletes and Olympians

In Hollywood, when an award show happens, it’s not just one night of fun, it tends to last at least a week leading up to the big event – with parties, galas and gifting suites. For those not familiar with the Hollywood scene, a gifting suite is a chance for event producers to bring together incredible brands with talent and media to share their products, their work and their mission.

The ESPY Awards took place in Los Angeles on July 11, 2024 and of course prior to the big event, there were plenty of sporty, wellness themed gifting suites – on brand for the EPSYs which celebrate the best athletes in the world. Veteran producer Debbie Durkin’s ECOLUXE Pre-ESPYS Sports Lounge took place on July 9, 2024 at a private residence in Beverly Hills, California. This exclusive event brought together top-tier celebrities, professional athletes and Olympians to celebrate the ESPYs and some amazing brands creating great products.

Notable attendees from at the ECOLUXE Pre-ESPYS Sports Lounge included Marcellus Wiley, Willie Gault, Crystal Manning, Sofia Milos, Ian Ziering, Jarrod Bunch, Sundiata Gaines, Greg Louganis, and more.

ECOLUXE’s charity partner for this event was Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue Ranch, A 501(c)(3) non-profit making a positive impact by rehabilitating dogs and giving them second chances at life using the human/animal bond, with puppies and therapy dogs available for adoption and foster.

Event attendees enjoyed wonderful conversations with fellow athletes and entertainers, as well as a chance to connect with brands sharing their products and services.
