Make plans to attend an official Oscar Night party in the Tri-State

CINCINNATI - It's time to roll out the red carpet in the Tri-State as Oscar night approaches.

The 15th Annual Oscar Night America gala takes place Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012. It's one of just 50 official Oscar parties in the country.

This year's theme is the Wild Wild West, and it will benefit the nonprofit agency People Working Cooperatively .  Specifically, proceeds will go toward the agency's Modifications for Mobility Program that provides low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners with important home modifications to keep them living safely in their own homes.

The big night takes place at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, with tickets costing $150 per person. Go to www.pwchomerepairs.org for more information.

However, those who cannot make it to the event can participate in an online auction from Feb. 6 through Feb. 24 at www.biddingforgood.com/PWCoscars .

In 2011, PWC's Oscar Night gala raised $155,000-- the most generated in its 14-year history.
