You may know Gillian Larson from Survivor “Gabon.” I had the pleasure of meeting this firecracker of a woman when she became one of my sponsors for the “Red Carpet Dreaming Tour.” To say she is living her red carpet dream is an understatement….
After being voted off Survivor Gabon, she walked the beaches and through the jungle every day for 5 hours a day until filming was complete. During this time she realized her mission…. and it is HUGE!
THIS April in Temecula Valley, she is running an amazing race like competition called “Reality Rally”. Participants are paired up with their favorite Reality TV star to raise money for Michelle’s Place who provide a variety of free services to women and their families impacted by breast cancer as well as those working to prevent breast cancer.
It is so amazing… you just have to watch the interview below to find out more, get inspired and maybe even join in the fun!
I flew in to Toronto last week to be one of the Bachelorette’s in a Charity Auction, benefiting one of our partner charities on the Red Carpet Dreaming Tour – The Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness (CCAA).
The CCAA do amazing work at raising awareness about the true cost of neglect and abuse. They support over 130 organizations across Canada, including children’s services, victims’ services, shelters and other agencies that deal with over 200,000 children, women and men whose lives have been affected by abuse.
The event was held on Thursday, Feb 3rd at the prestigious Capitol Event Theatre in Toronto, On, Canada.
Global News featured the event. Scroll to 11:45 to see the recaps. I am in blue. You can see me raising my arms and then I am in the background later in the clip. Enjoy!
It was totally amazing – the food, the music, decor, the crowd… and of course all the bachelors and bachelorettes looked sensational. But mostly… piles of money was raised. The final numbers are not in yet but at LEAST $25 000 was raised. YAHOO!
Some of the featured bachelors included Pro baseball player Drew Taylor, Olympian Nicole Forrester, Champion Boxer Fitzroy Vanderpool and Miss Universe Canada Elena Semikina. All 4 were very gracious and humble. Gotta love it! Now THAT is true super stardom… living your greatness and yet staying human. WHOOT!
My dream date package included a week vacation with Ultimate Living, anywhere in the world; a dinner for 10 at Tappo Wine Bar and Restaurant in Toronto on May 25th with a private performance from me follow a giant blow out party (and yes YOU can come) and a VIP ticket to our big Red Carpet Fundraiser Show on May 29th in Toronto where I will sing to him on stage in front of 500 people, live streamed across the world! The package and I were auctioned off for $1200… all of which went directly to the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness.
And of course when it was my turn to be auctioned off, I came out singing “Big Spender!” Had a blast working that catwalk
Such a great event! So honored I got to be part of it.
