OK, I’m going to toot a horn for PAL, a very cool organization for young people. PAL is the Hollywood Police Activities League, a community-based crime-prevention program, which helps kids ages 6-17 stay out of trouble by providing positive alternatives such as recreational, educational, athletics and fine arts activities. PAL’s goal is to get these kids to learn about their community, respecting police officers and the laws that apply, in a totally fun environment.
But of course, they need donations to keep PAL up and running, which is why they’ve decided to host their 2nd annual Academy Awards® viewing party on Sunday, March 7th. The VIP event will take place at the famous Hollywood Museum, just steps away from the Academy Awards red carpet at the Kodak Theater. Attendees will get to watch the show on six large screen televisions, as well as look outside the window to see arriving celebrities, along with mingling with the PAL board members and many more.
Here’s the all info, according to the press release:
Tickets for the dress-to-impress event are limited and are currently available at $150.00 for reserved seating and $1,000.00 for a lounge area (six-eight guests), with two bottles of champagne. The festivities are from 3:00 pm – 9:00 pm and will include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, buffet dinner, dessert, tour of the museum’s exhibits on four floors and a chance to view this year’s Oscar nominated costumes, including the ones from Best Picture nominees Avatar.
A Silent Auction will be offered during the course of the event, allowing guests the opportunity to bid for unique items ranging from an ice-cream truck party outside your home or office to an exclusive tour of a Hollywood police station, squad car and ending with a pizza lunch with uniformed police officers.
“Without a doubt, I know that when a child participates in PAL, the trajectory of his or her life moves into a different, more positive direction,” PAL President Kerry Morrison said.

So if you happen to be in L.A. during the Oscars and want to as close to the action as possible, this might be the event for you. Plus, you’d be helping out a great cause.
