San Francisco, CA, March 27, 2009 –(PR.com)–
The Palomita Education Fund is thrilled to announce that R&B and
pop singer-actress Christina Milian will be participating in its
upcoming charity event, Piensa Mas Alla…Think Beyond, on May 29, 2009
at Terra SF in San Francisco. Milian has designed and autographed a
unique, special edition t-shirt, which will be auctioned at the event,
with all proceeds benefiting Latino education at a night that will
celebrate fashion, art and Latino culture. The design will also be
available for purchase, for a limited time only, through specialty
retailers and on-line at palomitaclothing.com. Milian’s latest efforts
to support youth education reflect her dedication to making a
difference in improving the lives of others. Often recognized as a role
model to teens, she has worked with the Children Uniting Nations
charity as a big sister to foster children and was recognized with a
humanitarian award at The Reign music awards from the Elton John AIDS
foundation for her work as a role model to young children. She has also
started to write two books targeted toward teenage girls that exemplify
healthy ways of finding happiness.
Drawing on last year’s
success, the second annual Piensa Mas Alla…Think Beyond… event is
expected to draw over 500 VIP’s of the Latino community together in
celebration and support of fashion, art and Latino culture. Other
confirmed celebrity designers include Rosario Dawson, Eva
Longoria-Parker, Andy Garcia, Tony Romo, Jaslene Gonzalez, Maria
Conchita Alonso, Melonie Diaz, Cesar Millan, Walter Perez, Valerie
Cruz, LENA, and Christina Milian. This is a great way to kick-off the
summer and enjoy a luxurious evening while supporting a worthwhile
cause. A limited number of tickets for the event are available on
www.palomitaclothing.com/events.
