Celebrities Put On Their Best Performance in a Charitable Role
The Academy Awards provided the main entertainment--and brought some celebrities together in Orange County--Monday night at a $125-a-person fund-raising dinner at Ron’s in Laguna Beach.
The Oscars presentation was shown on eight TV screens while such celebrities as Gale Storm, Ned Beatty and Alexis Smith dined, danced and socialized at the event to raise money for CHIP-IN (Community of Hollywood Investing in People in Need) and St. Mary’s Care Program of Laguna Beach.
Both groups are nonprofit organizations whose primary goal is to help provide food and shelter for the homeless.
About 100 people attended the black-tie affair, which was organized by Joe Layton and Ron Niles.
The event raised almost $3,000, according to the sponsors.
