Beverly Hills, CA — In a dazzling display of philanthropy and star power, veteran producer Debbie Durkin hosted the annual ECOLUXE Pre-ESPYS Sports Lounge at a private gated estate in Beverly Hills. The exclusive luxury event brought together celebrities, professional athletes, Olympians, and top lifestyle brands for an unforgettable day — all to benefit Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue Ranch, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to saving dogs and transforming lives.
This year’s ECOLUXE experience fused high-end hospitality with heart, offering guests an immersive atmosphere featuring red carpet arrivals, wellness services, gourmet bites and beverages, celebrity portraits, yard games, and even adoptable pets on-site. The event honored the work of Dr. Melissa Brunson in conjunction with Marley’s Mutts, underscoring a deep commitment to animal welfare and holistic healing.
At the center of the wellness offerings was the Integrative Peptides Wellness Lounge presented by Dr. Kent Holtorf, MD. Guests indulged in luxury health experiences including muscle enhancement peptides, bioregulators, red light therapy, PEMF therapy, health coach consultations, and an energizing ozone water & ginger shot bar — all designed to rejuvenate body and mind in true red-carpet fashion.
The ambiance was elevated by DJ William Reed, who kept the lounge vibe flowing with curated music, while attendees mingled and explored elite brand activations. Highlights included:
