Eco-Oscars “Green Carpet” Hospitality Lounge Benefits American Red Cross Haiti Relief
With the 2010 Academy Awards just around the corner, Debbie Durkin hosted her annual Eco-Oscars “Green Carpet” Hospitality Lounge March 3rd and 4th at a private estate in Beverly Hills.
Dozens of vendors, repping Hollywood’s hottest new products, were also in attendance, looking for the chance to tempt the stars with their newest swag.
Hollywood catering specialist John Spagnuolo of Creative Gourmet served up lamb chops and shrimp from the grill while cocktails and Bud Light Lime were served from the Blue Ice Martini Bar, sponsored by Waterford Crystal.
Offering a healthier alternative to the standard fare, Chef Alex Fioroni prepared an organic buffet of Bod-Health Nutrition’s metabolism-boosting hamburgers and chicken with ginger.
The festivities, however, were not without a sense of purpose – the event featured a “Hollywood Icons for Haiti” photo shoot with celebrity photographers Ryan Forbes, Ron Newkird, Scott Nathan, and Robert Sebree in association with Porkchop Production Services, Inc. and Workhorse Productions, Inc. Autographed portraits will be donated to an auction benefitting American Red Cross – Haiti Relief.
The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (spcaLA), and the P.S. I Love You Foundation (educating and empowering at-risk children) were also present to raise funds and awareness for their respective causes.
