Noah Wyle will help MPTF’s NextGen board ring in summer at the organization’s annual bash.
The Pitt guru, who writes, directs, executive produces and stars on HBO Max’s critically acclaimed hit series, will host the summer party which is set to take place at Hollywood’s The Aster on May 31. Presented by Delta Air Lines and Waymo, the fundraiser toasts Hollywood while rallying money for the Motion Picture & Television Fund, which supports working and retired entertainment professionals. Last year’s summer party tallied $145,000.
The 2026 NextGen summer party host committee includes Heated Rivalry breakout François Arnaud, Awkwafina, Stephanie Beatriz, Anna Camp, Sherry Cola, Lana Condor, Abby Elliott, Topher Grace and Ashley Hinshaw Grace, Seth Green, Wyle’s The Pitt colleague Shawn Hatosy, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Scott Porter, Jason Ritter, Reid Scott, Chase Stokes, Luke Tennie and others. Also serving are MPTF NextGen board nembers Camilla Belle and Jason George with MPTF board of governors member Yvette Nicole Brown. Host committee members are expected to attend.
The night’s program features a VIP cocktail reception before the main event, which will feature music by DJ Ray Rhodes, an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, mingling and a curated giftbag for VIP ticket purchasers. In addition to Delta and Waymo, supporters include gold sponsors City National Bank, First Entertainment Credit Union, Lilac Grove Entertainment, Poshmark and Warner Bros. Discovery with select sponsors L’Oréal and Miramax and additional support from Morgan Stanley Global Sports and Entertainment.
“The NextGen summer party captures the very best of what our industry can be — connected, generous, and forward-thinking,” said MPTF’s chief development officer Courteney Bailey. “It’s where rising leaders turn purpose into action, helping MPTF continue its necessary and vital work supporting members of our community when they need it most.”
