The Academy Awards is one of the most prestigious
ceremonies in the entertainment world. This Hollywood-studded event is
where the most distinguished actors and actresses of the time gather to
celebrate each other’s hard work and accomplishments … at the most
elegant location, wearing the most expensive clothing and jewelry and
eating a gourmet dinner made by the finest chefs in the country. Ever
wondered what it would be like to attend a party like this? Now you can,
at the People Working Cooperatively’s Salute to the King, part
of a national grassroots program that allows charities to host glam
fundraising parties on Oscar Sunday. PWC brings the Academy Awards to
our city with a five-star Hollywood evening featuring a red carpet
welcome, cocktails, appetizers, a gourmet meal, emcees from WCPO-TV and
the Academy Awards live on a giant screen. All of the proceeds will
benefit the nonprofit agency’s Modifications for Mobility Program, which
provides low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners with important
home modifications to keep them living safely in their own homes. $150
per person; tables of 10 are $2,000. Raffle tickets: $25 each or $100
for five. 5:30 p.m.-midnight. Sunday, Feb.
