Help Eugene & Family Rebuild

If you have spent any amount of time working in the hospitality industry or enjoying cocktails in Los Angeles, then you know, and undoubtedly love, Eugene Lee. Eugene is a pillar of the bar and restaurant community; an immense talent, a respected leader and mentor, and a kind and generous friend to all. Eugene has been the heart of this industry in LA for many years and has regularly been at the forefront of helping countless friends and colleagues in their times of need through his fundraising efforts at Big Bar and beyond. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who knows Eugene who wouldn't say that he has touched their life and helped them in one way or another.

Our friend has experienced a tragic and catastrophic loss. Eugene, his wife Laurel, and their beautiful son have lost their house, as Eugene called it, their dream home, to the Eaton Fire. Thankfully, Eugene & his family and their pets were able to evacuate safely, but the loss is unimaginable.

As a community, we have the opportunity to help Eugene and his family get back on their feet. Eugene has gone out of his way to take care of so many of us, it is our turn to take care of him. All donations will go directly to the Lees as they navigate a path forward.
