On Friday, March 25th, 2022, Secret Room Events kicked off Oscar weekend by hosting a lavish, by invitation-only style lounge for celebrities, media, and influencers at the ballroom of the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. In addition to spotlighting the latest swag, a special gift bag signed by celebrities was auctioned off and donations were requested to help the people of Ukraine.
