LOS ANGELES, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- NorthStar Moving Corporation, the leading residential and commercial mover in California, offering local, intrastate, interstate, and international moves, as well as storage services, today announced it is providing free moving services to ensure that prized artwork and fragile items for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles' upcoming fundraiser are handled with the utmost care.
Renowned for its RED CARPET SERVICE, NorthStar Moving has become the mover of choice for celebrity clientele. Now, as the stars come out for the Make-A- Wish Foundation of
Greater Los Angeles' 14th Annual "Uncork A Wish" Wine Tasting and Auction fundraiser on Saturday, May 5, 2007, NorthStar Moving will help provide a smooth and successful gala affair. NorthStar Moving has granted Make-A-Wish Foundation's wish by being their mover for this event and others throughout the year.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children battling life threatening medical conditions. The Greater Los Angeles chapter has fulfilled over 5,800 wishes since it began in 1983. Its annual "Uncork a Wish" Fundraiser plays an important role in fulfilling these wishes. This highly anticipated event features tasting from over 75 vintners and delicious meals from top Los Angeles venues. The highlight of the evening is the silent and live auctions where attendees bid on fine wines, exquisite artwork, luxury trips, sports and entertainment memorabilia, and one-of-a-kind packages.
The 14th annual event evokes the style and fun of the roaring twenties, complete with an art deco motif and jazz music. Preparations for this elaborate affair require the utmost care. Fragile glassware and china as well as precious artwork must be carefully packed and moved from the Make-A-Wish Foundation's offices in Los Angeles and from their storage at NorthStar Moving's facilities (which they provide at no cost throughout the year) to the event site inside the Santa Monica Air Center's Barker Hangar.
"The Make-A-Wish Foundation has played such an important role in bringing smiles to the faces of youngsters facing immense health challenges," said NorthStar Moving Corporation Founder and President Ram Katalan. "We are pleased that in our own small way we can help to make this year's fundraiser a terrific success."
Three-time Emmy winning actor and comedian Brad Garrett of the Fox comedy "Til Death" is the special guest host and live auctioneer alongside Ed Beardsley of "Bonhams & Butterfields". Celebrity guests include Chris Cornell of Soundgarden/Audioslave, Gregory Itzin of "24", Cheryl Tiegs, Micky Dolenz of the Monkees, and Patrick O'Neal of "FSN".
