Stars for Hope Pakistan Flood Relief Fundraiser

I had the honor of covering the Stars for Hope Pakistan Flood Relief Fundraiser on Sunday, January 16th, 2011!  This star-studded, red carpet event was at the very colorful Carnivale Restaurant and hosted by The Organization of Pakistani Entrepreneurs Network (OPEN) and The AZK Group.  Glee star, Iqbal Theba; Actor, Faran Tahir (Iron Man, Star Trek); The Daily Show's, Aasif Mandvi and Bravo's Top Chef contestant, Malika Ameen were all in attendance to help raise funds. 

As reported by The AZK Group, the benefit was able to raise "over $40,000 through ticket sales, pledge forms and an auction that included a private, in-home baking class by Ameen, Glee script and DVD, tickets to The Daily Show along with a private tour by Mandvi that went for a total of $10,000 alone, and more".  That's a great acheivement for just one night!

I had a wonderful time speaking to each celebrity and getting their opinions on why this crisis that has affected over 20 million people didn't get as much coverage as others. Please let's not forget the people of Pakistan and keep them in our prayers as they continue to rebuild their lives.
