Hosted by After-School All-Stars founder Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Westime founder and ASAS board member John Simonian, last weekend’s annual Westime Charity Night raised a record-setting $9.75 million in support of After-School All-Stars, the nonprofit organization Arnold founded more than three decades ago to provide free after-school and summer programs to 150,000 students nationwide. Since its inception in 2013, Westime Charity Night has raised nearly $50 million to further this mission.
At the only public event held at Arnold’s private residence, guests enjoyed a western-themed evening filled with generosity, connection, and celebration, featuring exceptional food, western-style entertainment, celebrity-owned spirits, an intimate home poker game, and an auction showcasing rare items and one-of-a-kind experiences. This year’s attendees included actor Alan Ritchson, Mark Wahlberg, world champion boxer Ryan Garcia, Tia Carrere, Dolph Lundgren, Danny DeVito, Milan Carter and Tom Arnold. Westime President Greg Simonian presented 10 luxury watches donated by Westime and Richard Mille as coveted prizes at the end of the evening.
