More than 200 people attended the party and enjoyed the thrills of the 85th Academy Awards amidst delicious food and plenty to drink. Ladies and gentlemen hovered around the photo booth that offered exciting backdrops.

The American Cancer Society combines a passion, with nearly a century of experience, to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, the organization fights for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. Their goal is to save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join in the fight.
