Teen Celeb Alexandra Rose Rieger Hosts "A Star in You" Sponsored by 'In a Perfect World' Foundation'

Oct. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- Alexandra Rose Rieger , teen Musician, Actress ("Akeelah and the Bee") and Youth Ambassador for ‘In A Perfect World' Foundation created and hosted a star studded event at The Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House (RMH) for children and families. This two-evening event was called ‘A Star In You,' which provided a "fun and safe platform for children to star in their own variety show," explains Rieger.  An article about this event is expected in November''s issue of Teen Vogue.

On the first night, after the children and their families enjoyed ice cream, they were able to stand in the spot light as they explored and shared their inner stars.  The footage was captured by Josh Sands, CEO of Hollywood Film and Acting Academy and highlights were edited in a short film.  The second night, the children and their families walked the red carpet with other teen celebrities as they were celebrated as "stars" in their very own film.

‘A Star in You" was sponsored by ‘In a Perfect World' Foundation, which was founded by social entrepreneur Manuela Testolini where newly appointed Executive Director is Dr. Towanna Freeman. The event was supported by Hollywood Film and Acting Academy, Looking Ahead Program (division of SAG), and Ben and Jerry's in conjunction with The Ronald McDonald House.  "A Star In You" event opened with Ice Cream provided by Ben & Jerry's in Long Beach.

Alexandra Rose Rieger, teen philanthropist, has been involved with fund raising and supporting The Ronald McDonald House for several years. They play a key role for families nationwide by providing a home away from home for children and their families while critically ill children undergo treatment at local hospitals. Rieger is currently working on several projects including an upcoming ep which will be released in December 2008. In contemplating possible events as a Youth Ambassador, she drew inspiration from her upcoming singles. "Harmony," which explores the passion of peace and the power in unity. Her song "Fairy Tale," shaped the fairytalesque decorations with plenty of red, gold and royal blue colors; as well as stars, balloon bouquets and featuring real red carpet on premiere night. Mama and Paparzzi were also on hand to capture the keepsake memories of their brave cherished ones, most donning smiles. A precious commodity that often is lost amidst steely resolve during difficult times of treatment and recovery.

Congratulations to all the fellow teen celebrities who joined Alexandra for this momentous occasion: Jillian Clare (Days of Our Lives), Matthew Underwood (Zoey 101), Joey Luthman (WEEDS; An American Carol), Christopher Recupito Rossi (Miss Behave; Zoey 101); Maiara Walsh (Corey In The House), and Sammi Hanratty (Pushing Daisies, Suite Life).
