A NIGHT AT THE OSCARS
Event Information
About this event
The Housing and Opportunity Foundation of Kern is celebrating its 8th Annual Dreaming Beyond the Stars Gala Event: A Night at the Oscars, benefiting low–income families in Kern County in gaining financial independence and self-sufficiency.
With a Hollywood Oscar Night as our theme again this year, we are excited to bring back an unforgettable night! Our fundraiser promises gala-goers a red carpet entry, exclusive wines and champagne, hors d’ oeuvres, live performers, silent auction, raffle prizes, dancing and much more. Attendees will literally feel like Oscar’s exclusive VIP guests celebrating the night. The terrace will be transformed into the magical enchanted isles of Hollywood; there will be a dessert room inspired by “Pretty Woman”, and the Media Room emulating the famous Vanity Fair Ball with impersonators, photos and caricature artist. Of course, the Oscars wouldn’t be the same without the Governors Ball themed room honoring classic black and white movies.
At the same time, the night is dedicated to raising funds for needy families who are pursing self sufficiency. We anticipate the Kern County community will step up once again and demonstrate our heart for helping those in need.

Our Mission Statement
It is our mission to empower families to become self-sufficient and improve their quality of life.
The Housing & Opportunity Foundation of Kern (HOFK) assists residents in the county’s low income public housing, and those in the Section 8 program to become self-sufficient. The seniors, youth, and families we assist have sought us out in an effort to change their lives. There are many barriers for them to overcome: lack of education, little or no job experience or training, poor self esteem, and no positive role models. We help them help themselves by providing the resources, support and environment they need to become self sufficient members of society.
