The fact that life can change in a moment is something Beverly Hills resident Karén Setian knows all too well. Thirteen years ago, Setian’s son, Vahagn, a 17-year-old Beverly Hills High School student, was killed in a drunk driving accident after choosing to ride with an intoxicated adult behind the wheel.
Channeling grief into purpose, Setian has spent the past years helping young people make good choices through the Vahagn Setian Charitable Foundation. On Sunday morning, Dec. 1, the charity’s largest (and only) fundraiser, the Vahagn Setian Memorial Run, will return to Beverly Hills for its ninth year–this time with rockers Steve Cooke and Frank DeVille performing Led Zeppelin hits throughout the race. Entry is free, although donations are welcome. Prizes for winners include a stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel and a Petrossian caviar dinner.
