Jewels and Pinstripes Creates Celebrity Thank You Gift Bags for DesignCure 2005 for Star Studded Charity Event at Sugar Ray Leonard's Estate
Premier gift bag company provides celebrity thank you gift bags and auction items to benefit the HollyRod Foundation.
Pacific Palisades, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) July 12, 2005 -- The guest list was exclusive, but the staff of
Jewels and Pinstripes had no trouble finding a treasure trove of trinkets to
fill thank-you bags for the special guests of DesignCure 2005, an invitation
only benefit held Saturday, July 9th at the Pacific Palisades home of "Sugar"
Ray and Bernadette Leonard. Fashion, fun and fundraising headlined the event,
benefiting the HollyRod Foundation, which is dedicated to providing financial,
physical and emotional support for people living with Parkinson's Disease, and
their caregivers.
Julie Kenney, founder of Jewels and Pinstripes, said
her company is proud to have contributed to the evening's success. "DesignCure
is a wonderfully produced event; every one involved gave so much more than 100%.
It was an honor to work with individuals so dedicated to this important
cause."
The HollyRod Foundation was founded in 1997 by actress Holly
Robinson Peete and her husband, Rodney Peete, in honor of Holly's father who was
diagnosed with Parkinson's at age 46. The DesignCure has become an eagerly
anticipated annual event thanks to the exceptional talent featured each year.
DesignCure 2005 included a fashion show spot lighting the work of Hollywood
designer, Pamela Dennis accompanied by the soothing sounds of Kenneth "Babyface"
Edmonds and Brian Culbertson. Holly Robinson Peete was pleased to offer the
Jewels and Pinstripes gift bags as a tribute to the extraordinary guests such as
Cindy Crawford, Eddie Murphy, Vivica A. Fox, Magic Johnson, Kenny G, Barry
Bonds, and so many others who made the evening a success. "So many contributors
gave of themselves out of love for my family and this cause that we support. The
outstanding quality of the Jewels and Pinstripes gift bags was a wonderful
representation of the deep gratitude we have for those very special
individuals."
Jewels and Pinstripes offered two additional bags to be
offered for auction, with all proceeds going to the HollyRod Foundation.
"Donating gift bags for auction is standard policy for Jewels and Pinstripes,"
said Kenney. "One of the best parts of our job is being able to support the
charities we work with, helping to make their events as successful as possible."
Kenney added that there is also an opportunity to win two of the celebrity gift
bags through Entertainment Tonight online and Us Weekly. For more information on
