"Dancing With the Stars" is the inspiration for this year's Race to Erase MS gala being held Friday the 13th at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. The lineup of performers and celebrity fashion showmodels includes brothers Drew and brother Nick Lachey, Mario Lopez, Tia Carrere, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, Cheryl Burke, Louis van Amstel, Rachel Hunter, Stacy Keibler, Joey Lawrence, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Molly Simms, Emmy Rossum and Nicole Richie and her boyfriend, Joel Madden.
That's the word from the amazing, dynamic Nancy Davis — the force behind the events — this is the 14th — that she reports have raised "$30 million so far" in the fight against multiple sclerosis.
Davis, the mother of five who was diagnosed with MS herself at age 33 in 1991, started her Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis in '93, and facilitates researchers from top hospitals and universities working together through her Center Without Walls.
She says she thinks the annual galas that she and designer Tommy Hilfiger spearhead are such a celebrity draw because "they're fun and easy for them to do." Earth, Wind & Fire will be playing. Ray Romano, Tom Arnold and Randy Jackson will be serving as auctioneers, with items on the block ranging from a fully tricked-out Ferrari to a trip to Amsterdam, "where Tommy Hilfiger will create a fashion line for you."
Best of all, "We're on the verge of being able to announce a major breakthrough in research," says Nancy.
Wonder what that is???
