EXCLUSIVE: A collection of industry professionals are set to gather at the Skybar in LA’s Mondrian Hotel for what has been described as a fundraising “night of solidarity” organized by InfoList founder Jeff Gund in support of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.

The fundraising event, which will see a portion of proceeds go to strike funds, will take place on September 14 and will aim to raise awareness and funds for striking SAG-AFTRA and WGA members, organizers have said.

According to organizers, industry set to attend include SAG-AFTRA negotiation committee member Nicole Cyrille, Ilya Salkind (exec producer of the Superman franchise), film exec Richard Walters (Whiplash), Larry Namer (co-founder of E!

Entertainment Television), and Michael Berk (creator of Baywatch). Deadline has asked what percentage of the proceeds will go to the strike funds. “I wanted to create an evening where writers, actors, and the whole industry can not only support the strike and stand in solidarity, but also get together, relax, and find some time for fun and enjoyment during this time of hardship and stress,” Gund said of the event. “There will be great networking opportunities with top professionals to help creatives find non-struck work and help ease the burden.
