HONORING THE STORIES OF THE PAST…
Super Bowl LXI in Los Angeles marks the 40th Anniversary of the legendary Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party. We will revel in the decades-long history of a gathering that does far more than just bring people together for a party. This party serves as a stage to tell the stories of the players who have shown excellence not just on the field, but in their communities; a spotlight for non-profit and social impact organizations who are making the world a better place, and a platform to have the difficult, but vitally important conversations around concussion and brain health. Most importantly - it is a space to explore modalities, treatments and solutions for not just brain health but overall wellness and longevity for all.
As an agent, Leigh helped to put hundreds of athletes in the history books and assured that theirs are the stories of legends. But as a steadfast advocate to protect their brain health and longevity, he is turning the page to the next chapter of their lives (and all of our lives); giving space for future stories to take shape.
The Ebell of Los Angeles is Los Angeles treasure, listed as Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. Celebrating it’s 100 anniversary in 2027, Its sprawling Mid-Wilshire campus was designed in 1927 by architect Sumner Huntington a grand Italian Renaissance Revival Style, complete with hand-carved ceilings, a lush courtyard garden, and the iconic 1238-seat Wilshire Ebell Theater. Over the decades - the historic complex has been the home to legendary cultural moments: the stage where a young Judy Garland was discovered in 1934, the site of Amelia Earhart’s final public address in 1937, and the filming location for dozens of iconic films and shows, including Forrest Gump, Air Force One, Catch Me If You Can, Mad Men, and Hacks. Now home to events, screenings, and live performances, The Ebell stands as an enduring monument to Los Angeles’s rich history and vibrant creative spirit.

In 1985, Barth A. Green, M.D., world-renowned neurosurgeon, and Nick Buoniconti, NFL Hall of Fame linebacker, founded The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis after Nick’s son, Marc, sustained a spinal cord injury during a college football game. The Miami Project, a Center of Excellence at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, is a leading global research center. The Miami Project is conducting cutting-edge discovery, translational and clinical investigations in traumatic spinal cord and brain injury, peripheral nerve injury and neurological diseases and disorders including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis and stroke. The Miami Project’s international team under the leadership of Drs. Barth Green, W. Dalton Dietrich and Allan Levi, has grown to more than 175 scientists, researchers, clinicians and support staff dedicated to improving the quality of life of those suffering from spinal cord and brain injuries and other neurological diseases and disorders. Miami Project researchers are conducting clinical studies and trials in spinal cord injury, including testing neuroprotective strategies, cellular therapies using Schwann cell and stem cells and advanced rehabilitation and neuromodulation approaches including the use of brain machine interface technologies.
Committed to finding a cure for paralysis resulting from spinal cord injury and to seeing millions worldwide walk again, the Buoniconti family established The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis in 1992. The Buoniconti Fund is a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise funds and awareness to help The Miami Project achieve its primary focus; to repair and restore function to the injured and diseased nervous system, thereby improving the quality of life to patients throughout the world.
