I had the wonderful opportunity to partner with Proactiv for their 12 days of Christmas campaign (yes, I know, we’re sooo over Christmas right now but bear with me) and by doing so I was able to donate $200 to my favorite charity – Women In Need.
Check out the video below to learn more about the campaign, charity and of course, a giveaway!
Last night I was honored to attend the annual benefit for Women In Need at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. After working with the charity for the past six months and growing closer to the cause, it was miraculaous to see so many people come together in support.
Merdith Vieira hosted the evening, which honored Cindi Leive, Editor-in-Chief of Glamour and Brendan Hoffman, President and CEO of Lord & Taylor. Both gave powerful speeches, but the most touching talks and presentations were those that came from present and former WIN clients.
The room was decorated with huge portraits of smiling children from the shelters and the balloons you see in the photo above became decorations, but weren’t there when we arrived. Each of them cost $100 – $1,000 and people generously purchased them as donations.
Last week I attended an event that Women In Need held called “Conversations with Tina Brown and Alexandra Penney.” Tina Brown is the Editor In Chief of The Daily Beast and Alexandra Penney just launched a new book called The Bag Lady Papers.
Women In Need provides homeless women and their families of NYC shelter and support throughout hard times and held this event in conjunction with two very successful women to show that homelessness can happen to anyone at any time. Alexandra Penney, a well known journalist and author was a victim of Bernie Madoff and lost her life savings at the age of 60.
