Foster Care Month Inaugural Writer’s Workshop to Benefit the Rowell Foster Care Positive Plan
05/02/2009 - By Crowne Plaza Hotel Los Angeles Harbor
NATIONAL FOSTER CHILDREN SPOKESPERSON VICTORIA KICKS OFF FOSTER CARE MONTH WITH WRITER’S WORKSHOP AND ANNUAL CHARITY EVENT
The Who’s Who in Hollywood Give Back
New York Times Best-selling author, actress, philanthropist, and humanitarian Victoria Rowell kicked off Foster Care Month with an inaugural writer’s workshop for foster children at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Los Angeles Harbor on May 2, 2009 followed by the Admiral’s High Tea at Sea May 3, 2009 on board the beautiful Mariner of Seas cruise ship of Royal Caribbean International docked at the port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, California. The event was sponsored by ING Americas and hosted by Royal Caribbean International.
May is National Foster Care Month. Rowell is the spokesperson for Casey Family Services, one of the key agencies spotlighting foster care in May. The Workshop kicked off the event followed by the Admiral’s High Tea at Sea to raise public awareness and funds to benefit the Rowell Foster Care Positive Plan (RFCPP).
The workshop, underwritten by Casey Family Services, included a star-studded array of panelists who worked with approximately 50 foster youth on how to express their feelings, thoughts, and emotions through the written word. Panelists included American Idol’s Rickey Minor, Isaiah Washington, Rolanda Watts, BET’s Charlie Jordan, ABC News’ Stephanie Wash, Myrna Colley-Lee, Victoria Christopher Murray, and Marva Allen. Participants had the opportunity to work one on one with the panelists. “It was an amazing gift,” offers Minor. “One kid wouldn’t even talk at first and now is writing like crazy!” Well received by all, the event was capped off by awards for innovative and expressive writing including the August Wilson Award, Langston Hughes Award, and the Terry McMillan Award. Jordan Brand also provided well-stocked travel bags and certificates for new athletic shoes for exemplary participation in writing.
The following day, the Admiral’s High Tea at Sea event, honoring author Terry McMillan and community leader Mrs. Christine E. Johnson (mother of basketball great Earvin “Magic” Johnson), brought out hundreds of guests and supporters. Each year the high profiled event attracts the Who’s Who in entertainment, business and the political arenas. Guests anxiously awaited the opportunity to participate in the highly-anticipated auction for their chance to bid on the latest in hats by milliners Patricia Underwood and Kokin. In addition, this year, RFCCP added couture fashion designer B Michael to the beautiful affair with several of his celebrated hats and two original designs; an evening cocktail ensemble and an enormously popular exit suit. Celebrities and guests were in bidding wars for the one-of -kind pieces. The auction also featured the work of artist Amailia Amaki. Entertainment was provided by R&B/jazz artist Lalah Hathaway. Actress/comedienne Kim Coles served as celebrity auctioneer and KNBC’s Chris Schauble served as master of ceremonies. Other guests include Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett, supporter and previous recipient of the Agatha Award, Hattie Winston, Cookie Johnson, Anna Marie Horsford, Tonya Lee Williams, Rolonda Watts and Kiki Sheppard.
“I remain awed and humbled by the support of foster children through this event,” says Rowell. “As a former foster child, I know how much it will mean to our children to be able to attend art classes, receive tutoring, and assistance with college.”
The Admiral’s High Tea event was sponsored by ING Americas, and hosted by Royal Caribbean International with additional support from Casey Family Services, UPS, Jordan Brand, KNBC-TV, Federal Express, and Southwest Airlines.
