JODIE FOSTER, CARMEN ELECTRA GLAM UP TREVOR PROJECT
If you want to have a successful charity, a little celebrity power
never hurts. Last night, Carmen Electra and Jodie Foster added a
little glam to the Trevor Project's Cracked Xmas benefit at the
Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.
Carmen Electra showed up looking girlie-girl glamorous. She wore a
purple sundress-inspired garment with a green cardigan to chase off
the chill.
But the big news of the night was "Silence of the Lambs" actress
Jodie Foster's involvement/support of the Trevor project.
According to press, Foster's support of the organization is "both
extensive and longstanding. In 1994, she was the first major donor to
provide support for the production of the short film Trevor. In June
2007, in support of the organization and to honor her close friend
Mr. Stone's memory and spirit, Ms. Foster kicked off a new $1,000,000
call center fundraising campaign with a major gift, the largest in the
organization's history."
Jodie told press, "I am extremely pleased to have the opportunity
to present the first Trevor Founders Award to Peggy and James in
memory of my dearest friend, Randy. Their inspired decision to
establish this vital organization and their ongoing commitment to
saving young lives are indeed worthy of recognition. The very fact
that, after ten years, Trevor continues to pursue its mission so
successfully is a testament not only to the founders' initial vision,
but also to the importance of the organization's efforts to help
desperate young people realize that their lives have value."
The Trevor project is a 24-hour suicide prevention helpline for gay
and questioning youth. The service is free, and available to anyone
who needs help.
