Gavin Keilly Gives Back to Hurricane Victims

GBK founder raises funds for those in need

Hollywood is known for its events... and while every day is a reason to celebrate something, only one thing has been on Gavin Keilly’s mind -- raising funds for the victims of Hurricane Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria.

“Our goal is to donate over $50,000 to hurricane victims through our upcoming events,” states Keilly, founder of GBK Productions. “GBK is making a donation in the name of each celebrity who attends our events. We are also having various brands, such as our title sponsor, Pilot Pen, do the same.”

GBK was the first gifting company to give to charities. They have hosted over 50 non-profit organizations at their lounges, to educate attendees about their cause, and to raise funds for the charities. GBK has donated or raised over $10 million in products and services since 2004.

Giving back to those less fortunate has been a part of Keilly’s life for some time. “I produced my first event in college, when I created a bowl-a-thon for the homeless, states Keilly. “It was incredibly rewarding to raise funds for those in need.”
