Hollywood knows Kate Linder as Esther Valentine, the sharp-tongued favorite she has played on CBS’s The Young and the Restless for more than four decades. But around Los Angeles, she is just as well known for something that never airs on daytime television: her tireless fight against ALS. On Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 2 to 6 in the afternoon, Linder and the ALS Network throw open the doors of the 9176 Sunset Gallery for the 3rd Annual Kate Linder Art Extravaganza, a reception and art sale built around one simple idea: turn beautiful art into real money for ALS research and care.

This year’s celebration puts the spotlight on California artist Molly Wolveck, the honorary artist of the afternoon, whose work takes pride of place in the gallery. She is in excellent company. Additional pieces have been generously donated for sale from the collections of Craig Byrd and Roy Oldenkamp, with even more art promised beyond that. Every cent raised from the sales goes to the ALS Network, the organization fighting what most Americans still call Lou Gehrig’s disease.

And this is no quiet gallery afternoon. Artist Annie Wood will be painting live in front of the guests, building a brand-new work stroke by stroke while the crowd watches. Fashion designer Gary Allen of Allen Knots hosts his own fashion show right in the middle of it all, giving the afternoon real show-business sparkle, the kind of glittering evening the town’s star-studded gala scene does best. There is no cover charge, so the doors are open to everyone, and RSVPs are already open at TeamKateLinder.org.

It is the kind of afternoon Hollywood does best. In a town where even the holidays turn into a full-blown celebration, charity nights with real star power have become a beloved tradition, and the Art Extravaganza fits right in. Linder has spent years as one of the most visible celebrity advocates in the fight against ALS, and this event has become her signature. This is already the third annual edition, and each year it draws collectors, fellow actors, and neighbors who simply want to help. The formula works because it is joyful: good art, good company, and a cause that touches far too many families.

A few practical notes for anyone planning to come: there is no parking at the gallery itself, so plan ahead. Paid parking is available across the street from the ROXY, and there are street meters and surrounding valet lots within easy reach. The event runs from 2 to 6 pm, and with no cover charge, the only thing guests are asked to bring is their generosity. Scan the QR code on the flyer or head to TeamKateLinder.org to RSVP or donate.

ALS, short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that gradually takes away a person’s ability to move, speak, and eventually breathe. There is still no cure, which is why afternoons like this one matter so much. Research funding and patient care both depend on exactly this kind of grassroots generosity, and the ALS Network puts the proceeds to work on both fronts. For families living with the disease, knowing that a room full of strangers spent a Sunday afternoon fighting alongside them means more than any headline.

Kate Linder has given daytime television one of its most beloved characters. On November 15, she is giving Los Angeles something even better: an afternoon where art, fashion, and compassion share the same room. Mark the calendar, tell a friend, and come see what happens when Hollywood’s heart shows up for a cause. Bring your checkbook, bring your curiosity, and leave with a piece of art that helped change lives.
