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.
