Rafi’s Gifting Lounge: A Must for the 91st Academy Awards

ON: February 25, 2019 BY: Ed Solorzano OBSESSIONS

In celebration of the 91st Academy Awards and its preceding weekend, selected celebrity attendees and media were given the opportunity to attend the highly anticipated Rafi Gifting Lounge held at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills. Guests were treated to gifted luxurious and exotic vacations, rich cultural experiences, rejuvenating spa treatments, fine jewelry, and more.  While there are many other gifting suites produced throughout Tinseltown annually, the live musical performances held throughout the day made this particular gifting suite different from the rest. Grammy-winning group Mary Mary, Louis Price of The Temptations, and Sonny Turner of The Platters kept the room alive while guests interacted with the various brands and reps in place.

 A special thanks needs to be given to the following celebrities, as a donation was made to orphaned children in Myanmar for each celeb who attended. Those famous faces included Lexy Panterra, Andrew Matarazzo, Michael Yerger, Jonathan Bennett, Luke Baines, Broderick Hunter, Tommy Chong, Curtiss Cook, Lindsay Pelas, Nafeesa Willams, Lilan Bowden, Rati Gupta, Frida Farrell, Ken Hall, Paul Greene, and Rob Raco amongst others.
