Celebrating the power of community and connection, more than 40 employees from across AEG’s Southern California business divisions came together to march on Sunday, June 7, 2026. Representing AXS, AEG, AEG Presents, Crypto.com Arena, Dignity Health Sports Park, the LA Galaxy and LA Kings, participants walked alongside the company’s Pride float in a vibrant and unified show of support for the LGBTQIA+ community.

The annual event, one of the largest celebrations in the country, provided a meaningful platform for AEG employees to stand alongside colleagues and the broader community in celebration. Additionally, members of the LA Kings Booster Club, and AEG Present’s Q+ initiative, which archives, celebrates and empowers the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community, were joined by the LA Blades, the first openly gay and lesbian ice hockey team, as they marched alongside AEG staff and LA Kings mascot, Bailey.

From coordinated t-shirts and Pride-themed accessories to high-energy music and fan engagement, the march brought this year’s theme of visibility, education, and community to life.

AEG’s involvement extended beyond the parade route with activations throughout the weekend at the OUTLOUD Music Festival and WeHo Pride Street Fair, two marquee components of the broader Pride celebration. AEG hosted booths that served as gathering spaces for fans and community moments, featuring appearances by LA Kings’ mascot Bailey, who helped engage attendees of all ages.

Supported by AEG Present’s subsidiaries including The Roxy and Goldenvoice, the activations included branded merchandise and ticket giveaways that reinforced the company’s presence.

Participating in WeHo Pride reflects AEG’s commitment to building inclusive spaces on stage, on the field and in the communities it serves.

Key Points

  • Marathon Petroleum recognized its Transport and Rail drivers who reached one million and two million miles without a preventable accident.
  • The award reflects years of disciplined driving, consistent training and a daily commitment to keeping themselves and others safe.
  • These drivers’ achievements highlight the professionalism, safety focus and operational excellence that define Transport and Rail.

Marathon Petroleum’s Transport and Rail organization is celebrating its transport drivers who have reached three or more years without a preventable accident and have driven over a million miles in that time. Seven drivers achieved the 2025 Million Mile Award for one million miles driven during that time. Two drivers were honored for reaching the two-million-mile mark, including Scott Wallace from Leach, Kentucky. Wallace has been a transport driver for Marathon since 2002.

“Safety is a decision you make every mile,” said Wallace. “Driving through storms, snow and ice is difficult, but anything can happen any day in any condition. We lean on our training and Marathon’s safety rules to stay safe and keep others safe every trip.”

Wallace said he always drives with patience and focus and never skips his pre-trip vehicle inspection checklist. He said he wants to get home to his family just as much as anyone else.

For this recognition, the drivers’ miles were accumulated for each full year driven without a preventable accident. After three years without a preventable accident, the driver is eligible to receive Marathon Petroleum’s Million Mile Award at intervals of one million, two million and three million miles.

“Safety is a decision you make every mile. We lean on our training and Marathon’s safety rules to stay safe and keep others safe every trip.”

“This is a remarkable milestone and a testament to the professionalism our transport drivers bring to their work,” said Mike Johnson, Vice President of Transport & Rail. “Their unwavering focus on safety, integrity and operational excellence reflects our core values and the high standards that define Marathon Petroleum.”
