This annual gala, held in conjunction with the Oscars at the Caribbean Cinemas in Monteheidra Cinemas, benefits non-for-profit organizations such as Hogar Cuna San Cristóbal, CODERI, YMCA de San Juan, La Fondita de Jesús, YMCA of San Juan, Jóvenes de Puerto Rico en Riesgo, Inc. (JPRR), and this year, the Brownie Blondie Foundation, an organization dedicated to the rescue of abandoned and mistreated animals. The glitzy event brought the magic of the movies to life for the attendees, including passed bites, cocktails, and a grand buffet with Puerto Rican delicacies from top Puerto Rican chef Wilo Benet, including wines, champagne, and more curated by Guillermo Ramis from Ambrosia Fine Wines, and donations from Plaza Provisions and The Coca-Cola Company. Guests were also treated to popcorn and snacks as they went to see any of the nominated movies available, courtesy of Caribbean Cinemas.
