Let’s not forget the Academy Awards take place today. See my Huffington Post article for a full list of OSCAR viewing parties. There are a couple below which were NOT listed in the article. 

Upper West is getting into the act (and was part of my Huffington Post article).  Support Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with an Oscar viewing event and fundraiser at Upper West.

The event was conceived by Sara Fay last year and was a big success. For its second year Lindsey Adlestein is co-hosting the event. Upper West has offered to donate 25% of all sales on that evening.

The party starts at the same time as the red carpet coverage at 4:30 pm. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early and fill out Oscar winner predictions. 

Come with friends and stay to watch the show. There will be prizes for the most accurate Oscars predictions, and other prizes for opportunity drawings.

Remember, Upper West will donate 25% of all sales on Oscar night to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which is dedicated to advancing research, treatment, awareness, support, and cures for blood cancers. Reservations are encouraged.
