As this is our first time being invited to a celebrity gift lounge—let alone the Oscars—the first day of an unknown event always brings uncertainty. But one thing was for certain: we’d been invited because we have a product that everyone needs, and GBK was excited for us to be there and help celebrate the 84th Academy Awards.

We were completely blown away with the genuine excitement we received for our product! The stars loved the backpack, our business concept, and the GOFoods Foundation opportunity to partner with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

Kristi Lauren (from the TV show “I Hate My Teenage Daughter”) really appreciated the charitable donation concept. “It gives me goosebumps,” she exclaimed.

Other such as Kevin Nealon and his wife, Susan, and Louis Gossett Jr. are just a few celebrities we talked to with charitable initiatives and love the GOFoods concept with the Nutriversal seal and ingredient icons. We were also interviewed by 8 local and national media outlets, so the GOFoods story is definitely getting out!

A wide variety of celebrities visited us today. How many of these names do you recognize?
