Fashion Show Will Benefit Foundation
A celebrity fashion show to benefit the Eric Michael Hoggatt Foundation, named for a Reseda High School football player who died after a game in September, will be held Friday in Woodland Hills.
The event, which begins at 7 p.m. at the Warner Center Marriott, will feature actors Larry B. Scott and Terrence Howard, and actor-rap artist Tone Loc. It will be hosted by Scott. San Diego neurologist Jay Rosenberg, an expert on concussions, will speak on the risks of head injury in contact sports.
Eric Hoggatt was found dead in bed by his mother the morning after a Reseda High game against Chatsworth High last Sept. 12. The Los Angeles County coroner subsequently found that the 18-year-old running back’s death was due to head injuries received during the game.
The nonprofit foundation, established by members of Hoggatt’s family, is dedicated to promoting awareness of scholastic sports injuries and their prevention.
The Warner Center Marriott is at 21850 Oxnard St. in Woodland Hills. The minimum donation for attending the fashion show is $25, and may be made at the door.
