Oscar Night to benefit Boys and Girls Club
It's that time of year again, to see which stars will walk away with the coveted golden Oscar recognizing the best in movies for the past year. The annual ceremony is all about glamour, and on Feb. 22, SouthTowne Motors in Newnan will once again be host for the Annual Oscar Night Benefit.
You can be a star for the evening and walk the red carpet and raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club of Newnan/Coweta County.
The black tie optional event will be at SouthTowne Motors on Bullsboro Drive in Newnan. Guests will be treated like Hollywood royalty as they walk the red carpet past the crowd of paparazzi snapping photos to memorialize the night.
"Last year's event was a big success, and guests loved the idea of the paparazzi. The whole evening is about being a star and making a difference for children and teens who attend the Newnan Club," says SouthTowne's Steve Mader, a Newnan Boys & Girls Club board member.
The gala begins at 7 p.m. with a cocktail reception and silent auction. Guests will have the chance to bid on a variety of items including artwork, autographed pictures, a vacation package in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., and a private dinner prepared by Mike Hutchinson of the "Dishing with Mike Show." While guests enjoy a four-star menu, they can view the Oscar ceremony on one of the big screens donated by Best Buy in Ashley Park.
Tickets are $80 each. Tables are available at $600 for eight and $1,000 for a corporate table of 10.
For more information or to purchase your tickets call the Boys & Girls Clubs at 770-427-0475. All proceeds benefit the Newnan/Coweta County Club.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta operates 30 clubs in 13 metro counties and serves more than 17,000 youth annually by offering specialized programming and a safe haven for at-risk and underprivileged children and teens.
At the Newnan/Coweta County Club a trained and professional staff serves more than 400 at-risk children and teens annually.

____________________________________________________________________Fundraiser is Saturday
Thu, 08/14/2008 - 4:27pm By: The CitizenThere will be a fundraiser for Joey’s Toy Box at the Thomas Crossroads Publix on Saturday, Aug. 16. Mike Hutcheson of “Dishing With Mike” will do a live show at 11 a.m. on Saturday and the fundraiser goes until 3 p.m.
Joey’s Toy Box provides support for the Child Life program at the Aflac Cancer Center & Blood Disorders Service located at the Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The Child Life Specialists provide the patients comfort and support as they are going through their healthcare experience. They walk the kids through medical procedures by utilizing puppets to show the child what he/she can expect to happen during a procedure. They provide board games, video games, movies, crayons, coloring books, reading books, puzzles, etc... for the kids while they are receiving chemotherapy or blood transfusions. If a child has had a particular rough experience, he/she can even go to the toy closet and pick out a special toy or stuffed animal to take home. Unfortunately their budget is limited and their toy closet relies mainly on donations they receive during the holidays. This is where Joey wanted to step in. He noticed that they did not have toys to meet all of the kids needs. And he definitely did not want them to run out of toys.
Joey Doolittle, a Newnan resident, succumbed to cancer on July 4 of this year. He was nine years old.
