Actresses Rose Abdoo and Kate Flannery attend Celebrities Decorate The Shriners Rose Parade Float – Shriners Hospitals for Children
Longtime charitable supporter and TV/Film product placement producer Debbie Durkin joined forces with Shriners Hospitals for Children in 2015, and began 2016 with support for this worthy organization as well – in an event dedicated to decorating the Shriners Rose Parade Float.
Celebrities and media gathered for sandwiches from Bristol Farms, sweets from Smoked Fusion Catering, and a few lovely baubles and bangles provided by jewelry designer Amy Marie Radzik. Hosted by How2Girl Courtney Sixx, the event was also supported by Modern Oats, Phoenix Decorating Company and of course – Shriners volunteers.
Yes, this event took place over a month back, but its primary focus is more than relevant: according to Durkin, this is just one charitable effort focused on the Shriners this year. “We’re on a mission to raise awareness for the new Shriners for Children Medical Center launching in Pasadena in 2017,” Durkin relates. In short: there’s more fundraising, fun, and promotion for this extremely worth cause ahead.

Watch this space for more news, as everything should be coming up roses all year long to help this new medical center provide cutting edge technology and healthcare for children and families throughout the Southland.
