Glam slam: GlamourGals hosts a benefit to remember

FLiP has been having fun, and learning lots, by following the tracks of glamour-gal/nonprofit-trailblazer Rachel Doyle.  All paths were leading to GlamourGals’ big annual fundraiser, Glamour in the City. 

Last Thursday at the Loews Regency Hotel in New York City, my fellow FLiPs and Changing Our World friends Alisha Fernandez and Irene Park joined me at the sensational soiree.  Some impressive stats: 

• Guests: nearly 300
• Funds raised: almost $50,000 (plus $50,000 in in-kind contributions!)
• Special guests: Andrew and Ann Tisch; Susan Schulz, Editor in Chief of CosmoGIRL! Magazine and Chairwoman of the GG Advisory Board; Tracy Smith, Anchor and host of the Saturday Early Show on CBS; Nikki Blonsky, star of Hairspray (the soon to be released movie), and Carl Jordan, President of M&T Bank.
• Highlights: Maybelline New York offered mini-makeovers with their celebrity makeup artist Melissa Silver; Sweet Street Desserts featured a 12 foot dessert table; and some of GG's extraordinary volunteers took home “Glammy! Volunteer Awards” for their service.

As icing on the cake, Rachel was featured on the CBS Saturday Early Show last week.  FLiP congratulates Rachel on her smashing party and wishes her continued success!  To learn more about, volunteer for or donate to GG and its rapid expansion, be sure to visit www.glamourgals.org .
