2025 AWARDS CELEBRATION
On June 4, 2025, A Community of Friends hosted our Awards Celebration to recognize the contributions of three inspirational community leaders and raise funds to support ACOF’s transformative mission. This year, we honored three exceptional individuals: Los Angeles City Council President The Honorable Marqueece Harris-Dawson; CEO of Downtown Women’s Center Amy Turk; and ACOF Tenant Cristal Couoh. The event, held at Candela La Brea, was supported by our generous sponsors, whose contributions make it possible for ACOF to grow and maintain its impact.
MAKE A DONATION
Couldn’t attend the event but still want to make an impact? Your donation to A Community of Friends goes directly to ending homelessness for people living with mental illness through the provision of quality permanent supportive housing. Many people choose to give from their assets – stocks, gifts from their IRA, and grants from Donor Advised Funds – to see even larger tax savings.
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
EVENT ARTWORK
The event design was based on on an original artwork by ACOF tenant Cosmin Harris. His mixed media on canvas painting, titled ‘O’Kay’ uses acrylic, oils, markers, and hairspray to create a compelling portrait. The painting was a raffle prize at the event. ACOF tenants of all ages celebrate their creativity by participating in the Tenant Art Contest, a community-building initiative run by ACOF’s Tenant Advisory Council.
