Oscar Night^® America Gala Raises $361,000

On Sunday, February 24, The Center for Family Resources once again brought the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to Atlanta as it hosted Oscar Night^® America at the Cobb Galleria Centre. For the seventh consecutive year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences granted CFR the privilege of hosting Atlanta’s only Academy^®-sanctioned event.

The event, co-chaired by Bob & Elaine Feldberg and Jerry & Cheryl Nix evoked the excitement and carefree spirit of the ‘Roaring 20s.’ The evening included live jazz entertainment and silent and live auctions. Attendees watched the live telecast on two big screens and received official Academy Awards^® ceremony programs. All proceeds benefit the low income and homeless families in our community.

With an attendance of over 625 guests combined with the fundraising efforts that totaled $361,000, the 2008 event is the most successful in CFR’s history. View press Release.

A special thank you to our sponsors.
