Celebrating Our Tenth Issue with Vinnie Hacker and The Trevor Project at W Hollywood

Last Wednesday night, Cero Collective partnered with Vinnie Hacker, one of the cover subjects of Cero Magazine’s tenth issue, and The Trevor Project for a gorgeous dinner and reception steps off the Walk of Fame at the W Hollywood. A range of guests, including high-profile content creators, RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni, NFL players, socialites, fashion and nightlife professionals, ballet dancers, and philanthropists, celebrated the launch of our tenth issue in support of The Trevor Project’s crucial and endangered work for LGBTQ+ youth across North America.

An exclusive champagne-fueled welcome and three-course feast greeted friends of Vinnie, Cero Magazine, and The Trevor Project for an intimate start to the evening at Café Goldie. Guests including Quintessa Swindell, Kerri Colby, Calvin Royal III, Oliver Muhl, Andrew Matarazzo, and Josiah Turner exchanged stories and engaged in cross-disciplinary conversation while enjoying a delicious selection of dishes. Standout menu items such as honey prawns, chimichurri pork spare ribs, and white miso and green matcha cheesecake provided fuel for the evening as revelers later made their way to the rooftop WET Deck overlooking Hollywood Boulevard, where they joined a growing crowd of celebrants gathered for an exciting evening sponsored by Kalo, J.Mills-Pierre/ Groupe M at UBS Wealth Management, and other anonymous donors.

On the rooftop, DJs Brenna Jordan and Zoe Gitter launched a high-energy soundscape for guests including Kaden Hammond, Farrah Moan, Chris Carter, Sugar Solay, callmespice, Kendra Wilkinson, Nikolai Spesivtsev, Ruslana Gee, Coco Mocoe, Kiel Tutin, Duncan Joseph, Charlie Besso, mehro, and Matt McKenley. Enjoying specialty craft cocktails whipped up by the W Hollywood team, partygoers soaked in the glittering vistas of Los Angeles with a prime view of Griffith Observatory as they funneled their attention and donations to The Trevor Project’s lifesaving mission. As the reception drew to a close, throngs of attendees made their way to Tenants of the Trees for Try Wednesday to keep the energy going.
