You are invited to join us again on the red carpet, sip and schmooze, and mingle at Pickford Film Center’s 9th annual Academy Awards viewing party – The Red Carpet Affair. This swanky benefit event sponsors PFC’s Education Fund, which provides innovative Media Literacy courses and Doc-ED documentary screenings, free to local middle school students. The event will take place on Sunday, March 4, 2018. Tickets are available online at www.pickfordfilmcenter.org.
The Cause
All proceeds from the evening will go towards Pickford Film Center’s Education Fund. Thanks to the funds raised last year and other contributions, we were able to invite every student in public and tribal middle schools in Whatcom County to experience free documentaries through Doc-ED. Help us maintain this meaningful program. This year, there are a variety of fun ways you can support, including a cocktail bar by Sara Galactica featuring themed cocktails from the Best Picture nominees, and amazing raffle prize packages like a year of free movies, Mount Baker ski area lift tickets and sea kayak trips, tickets to the Seattle Philharmonic, and more.
The Scene
Make your grand entrance on the red carpet as Bar Tabac serenades your arrival. Be sure to pose for the paparazzi and flashing cameras along the way, and you will be welcomed into the PFC Lobby which will be transformed for the evening. Visit photographer Phil Rose to have your gorgeous mug photographed in front of the PFC backdrop.
The Flavors
Hearty, delectable appetizers prepared by Crave Catering will be available throughout the night. Visit the elaborate cheese and charcuterie spreads and cascading hors d’oeuvre displays. Top the evening off with a trip to the lavish Willy Wonka-inspired candy buffet with all of the sweets and small cakes you can dream of.
The Entertainment
The broadcast of the 90th Academy Awards will begin at 5:00 p.m. and this begins the evening of entertainment. The awards ceremony will be screening in both cinemas and in the lobby, so grab a seat or feel free to roam around. Intermezzo fun will be dispersed throughout the commercial breaks – so be ready to win prizes with some interactive games, enjoy some live entertainment and learn more about the story of Pickford Film Center.
Tickets are available online.
