The charity event is organized by Community Campership Council.
The Academy sanctions charities across the country to host celebratory viewing parties on Oscar® Night with proceeds directly benefiting the charities. All parties will feature the live broadcast of the Awards presentation; “We are very pleased to announce that Perry Chen will grace the red carpet as a special guest at this year’s Oscar Night® America ~ San Diego event. Of all the film critics we could have invited, Perry Chen is the most appropriate because of our focus on enriching the lives of San Diego youth. Perry is a role model for his generation and has already accomplished more than many film critics twice his age. Our guests will be participating in a Predict the Winner contest and Perry will be announcing his pick for the animated feature category. The mission of the Community Campership Council is to enrich the lives of San Diego youth and proceeds of the event will be used to send San Diego kids to camp.” “We had an enthusiastic turnout last year and were able to send 80 kids for a week at 24 San Diego area camps,” said Rob Sauvajot co-chair of the San Diego event. “We hope that being the sanctioned Oscar Night® America event will help us raise awareness about the importance of getting kids outdoors and help us raise enough to send twice as many kids to camp this year.” “Oscar Night® generates excitement all over the world. With the Academy’s help, our guests will feel like they are on the A-list,” quoted co-chair Jerry Hemme. “The Academy will provide our party guests the same official program distributed to guests at the Oscar® presentation at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood. The appearance of Perry Chen will add to the excitement.” “I am thrilled to attend the 2011 Oscar Night® America ~ San Diego charity event, organized by the Community Campership Council to help more kids go to summer camps,” said Perry Chen. “I have enjoyed going to summer camps in San Diego in the past few years to learn about animals in the world famous San Diego Zoo and Sea World; practice gymnastics and swimming; make ceramics art and painting; hone my acting skills, and so much more! I hope more people will join me at the Oscar Night® America ~ San Diego charity event to help our kids go to these fun summer camps to learn and play.” Oscar Night® America – San Diego tickets are available at http://www.kidstocamp.org Perry’s company Perry’s Previews and Amazing Kids! are also organizing the first ever “Amazing Kids!
