After months of planning, we finally had our “Starry, Starry Night” event at my studio in Costa Mesa. This was the result of collaborative efforts of Betsy with Working Wardrobes and Jeana Keough and other members of the cast of “The Real Housewives of Orange County.”
Working Wardrobes is a charity that gives assistance to people getting back into the working world by providing clothing, success coaches, interview tips, financial literacy training and a career center to help find available jobs. Jeana (from “The Real Housewives of Orange County”) and Betsy have been heavily involved in volunteering for WW. For their efforts, I am pleased to say they both received the Presidential Award for Volunteerism- a very prestigious award created by President Bush to honor those who dedicate much of their time and energy to volunteer work. I am very proud of these amazing women!
I don’t think I’m making a bold statement when I say that everyone had a blast; there were smiles and laughter everywhere. Attendees got to walk the red carpet, enjoy signature cocktails named after the Housewives, and view the portraits I took of the Housewives and Working Wardrobes clients.
The main events were the silent and live auctions in which we were able to raise over $50,000 for Working Wardrobes. I am so honored to have helped with this event. Philanthropy is a very rewarding experience and a great way to get in touch with your community.
