Welcome to THE ACADEMY GALA, the third annual Hollywood event of its kind in the Bay Area!
"Darling, imagine a glamorous evening during which YOU are the Star, surrounded on the red carpet by the chatty press, persistent photographers, and adoring autograph seekers as you make your way into a legendary Hollywood movie palace to watch the live broadcast of the 76th Annual Academy Awards® ceremony on the big-screen!" "Once you have moved beyond spontaneous fashion critiques and the gauntlet of fans crowding the red carpet, prepare to sit back and enjoy big-screen television like it has never been experienced before - it even comes with an organ!" "Instead of staying home and watching the Show of Shows on the small screen, join your friends and family at the Castro Theatre to watch the largest TV in town! I'll even let you in on a little secret, many a new relationship has been sparked from having met at The Academy Gala!" "You will certainly enjoy wining and dining on the Mezzanine tasting savory hors d'oeuvres courtesy of Castro area restaurants, as well as a Wine Bar, Vodka Bar, and Margarita Bar. Who needs to keep running to the refrigerator at home during commercials when you have all that?" "Throughout the evening guest hosts and I will encourage you to participate in the silent auction and raffle as well as judge and award lucky costumed contestants, "The Academy Gala Award of Style" for Best Portrayal of an Actor, Actress, and a Special Category." "Additionally, if you become a Member of the "Academy" your entertainment value increases with the opportunity to compete for "The Academy Gala Award of Clairvoyance"; a Members-only privilege to complete a ballot attempting to guess correctly the most number of award recipients." "Proceeds from The Academy Gala benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and improve the quality of life for those affected with the disease afflicting children and young adults nationwide." "I simply cannot wait to greet YOU on the red carpet at The Academy Gala. I promise you a wonderful evening, benefiting a wonderful cause" Fondly, Donna Sachet | | | | | |||||||
