Emmys Giving Suite Raises Money for Foundation

Backstage Creations, specialists in award show gifts and custom backstage gift suites, produced the Giving Suite™ at the 66th Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theater. The show aired live coast-to-coast on Monday, August 25th on NBC. In addition to treating presenters and performers to an array of luxury goods, the lounge served as a Giving Suite as celebrities who participated helped raise $150,000 in donations to support the Television Academy Foundation. Celebrities were also asked to autograph luggage filled with goodies from each sponsor, which the Foundation will offer in a future online auction.

This year’s Giving Suite was designed by Josh Johnson Home for Softline. Josh provided a luxurious and stylish backdrop for celebrity guests to mingle while they perused the products and lounged within his custom-designed vignette. Based both in West Hollywood and Nashville, Josh's Home for Softline embodies his “Livable Luxe” philosophy with rich metallic sheers, beaded and embellished fabrics, and oversized damask patterns, and will debut in stores in October 2014.
