Stars not only prepared for the big Emmy Awards by getting wardrobe fittings, going to parties and having beauty treatments – they also made room in their busy schedules to show support for numerous non-profits and charity organizations. Reality Cares, a non-profit organization aligning members of the entertainment industry with various charitable organizations, hosted the Achievement Awards in honor of the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards last August 28th, 2010 on the penthouse rooftop of the Luxe Hotel in Beverly Hills.
