Cape Clogs provided 100 gift certificates for giftbag sponsorships at the Borgnine Movie Star Gala on the evening of February 23, 2013.
The gala, a celebration of the 85th Academy Awards, was an exclusive, invite-only celebrity event with press, red carpet, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and live music. Featured that evening was the presentation of the first annual “Ernie” Award in honor of Oscar-winning actor Ernest Borgnine.
The “Ernie” Award will be presented each year to an actor who exemplifies all that Ernie held in high regard in the field of acting. This year, the award went to Sean Penn.
Ernest Borgnine once said, “There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit.” Cape Clogs founder Pam Irving had the opportunity to meet this wonderful man 4 years ago at an event in LA, and has an autographed clog from him!
