What a great and fun fund raising idea!!!  The Oscars are going to be televised on February 27th.  Invite a few or a lot of friends over and host a fun Oscar party.  There are many ways you can do this to raise money for Relay.  You can charge each person "admission"....you provide as much or as little food as you like.  Popcorn and sodas will do, or you can have more!  Ask your team members to each make one appetizer to spread out the cost and the time involved.  Click here for a link to a party planning page from the Academy of Arts and Sciences.  This will give you so many great ideas and also a form you can download and print that is an Oscar Ballot.  You can have people pay to participate and the winner takes home half the money and half goes to Relay (or who knows, they might be generous and donate their half, too).  There are forms for Oscar Bingo too - they are really fun.  Again, you could charge money to play Bingo....a lot of good party ideas on this link.  Just a thought....since the Oscars are on a Sunday night and go quite late, you could record the show and have the party on another night!  That way you can set the time and fast forward through the commercials. You might not be able to do the Oscar ballots, but you could sure still play Bingo.  If you did the party later, send out a ballot as an invitation and ask people, before the awards are televised to pick their winners!  Announce who won the contest at your party!  And the Oscar goes to..........!!!
