The Charlie Awards Luncheon held in the beginning of February ('07) in the Blossom Room of the Roosevelt Hotel in downtown Hollywood was a huge success. It was sold out completely. As any awards luncheon in Hollywood should have, there are celebs, emotional speeches, extravagant outfits, European vacations and a fury of raffle tickets. Project SOAR received a lot of financial support so the children of Hollywood may continue to create art in their after-school program. |
