LOS ANGELES (Oct. 29, 2024) — Philanthropist and Creative Artists Agency (CAA) Co-Chairman Kevin Huvane has made a powerful impact on the work of Project Angel Food with a $50,000 donation that enabled the organization to add a new van to its fleet. This van, dedicated to Huvane’s late brother, Chris Huvane, expands Project Angel Food’s reach in delivering meals to seriously ill individuals across Los Angeles County.

Unveiled on Monday, Oct. 28, at a ceremony held in front of CAA’s Los Angeles offices, the van bears a heartfelt tribute to Chris, featuring his photo and the inscription, “In loving memory of Chris Huvane. May this van carry his legacy on every journey. Love always goes the distance…” Present at the ceremony were Project Angel Food CEO Richard Ayoub, as well as family and friends of the Huvane family, including Kevin’s father, Martin Huvane, son Declan Huvane, and former wife, Ruth-Ann Huvane (pictured).

Kevin Huvane expressed, “Project Angel Food truly captures the essence of compassion and community, creating a profound impact on the lives of many individuals and families throughout Los Angeles County. By delivering nutritious meals to those in need, they not only nourish bodies but also uplift spirits. It is an honor to support their mission in memory of my beloved brother, Chris Huvane, who was a guiding light for me and so many others.”

Ayoub added, “There’s no better way to honor a loved one than to sponsor a van that delivers lifesaving meals to people with critical illness. As Chris Huvane’s van travels through 4,751 square miles of L.A. County delivering 127,000 meals and hope a year, clients will feel the incredible energy of the person who made it possible.”

Chris Huvane, a respected Hollywood manager and partner at Management 360, was renowned for his warmth and dedication to his clients. He managed a high-profile roster including Chadwick Boseman, Margot Robbie, Julianne Moore, Zoey Deutch, Zach Braff, and Henry Winkler. Before joining Management 360 in 2010 and becoming a partner in 2015, he had established a successful career in public relations and served as Senior West Coast Editor for GQ magazine. Born in New York on June 29, 1974, Chris was a beloved figure in the entertainment community until his untimely passing on February 6, 2022, at the age of 47. He is survived by his wife Cole, his siblings Denise, Michael, Stephen, Robert and Kevin, his father Martin, nephew Declan, and former sister-in-law Ruth-Ann.

The Chris Huvane van joins Project Angel Food’s fleet of 14 refrigerated vans, which deliver medically tailored meals to more than 5,272 critically ill individuals in Los Angeles County — with 2,700 people receiving meals on any given day. Serving clients across 74 routes, Project Angel Food’s drivers cover an impressive 195,000 miles annually, bringing more than 1.5 million meals each year to the doors of neighbors who are too ill to shop or cook for themselves across the county’s 4,751 square miles.
