On Sunday, March 7, 2010, Hollywood is bringing the excitement and glamor of its biggest night to Atlanta for the ninth year, through the festivities of Oscar Night® America – Atlanta, benefiting the Center for Family Resources. After the event’s success at last year’s new venue, the premier gala will return to Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and continue to impress over 600 guests at the Sponsors Dinner. Individual ticket holders are invited to join our sponsors at Atlanta’s only official Oscar®-viewing party, which allows guests to experience the year’s culmination of fashion, film and entertainment in an elegant theater setting. WSB-TV’s Jovita Moore will be returning to serve as emcee for the evening.
All proceeds from the annual event will benefit The Center for Family Resources. Guests may attend as
sponsors or purchase individual tickets. Those interested in being a sponsor of Oscar Night® America – Atlanta may visit www.TheCFR.org for more information. Individual tickets to the Viewing Party are available for $25 (Tickets will go on sale to the public Dec. 1, 2009, through www.AtlantaRedCarpet.com.) The event kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 7, at The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and continues until the final gold statue is presented.
While sponsors are invited to a seated dinner prior to the live telecast, both individual ticket holders and sponsors will enjoy the many festivities of the viewing party. While watching the year’s best in film accept their awards, guests can take a spin on the dance floor or chat over cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and dessert. In addition to a raffle for a VIP “Swag Bag,” bids can be placed on a variety of items during a special silent auction.
Chairing this year’s event will be Glenn and Alice Brock of Brock, Clay, Calhoun & Rogers, LLC. “We are proud to have the opportunity to bring this piece of Hollywood to Atlanta,” noted Glenn Brock. “This is a fantastic evening to celebrate the best in film, but the event serves a larger purpose in assisting those without the resources create a home and better life for their families.”
