Vanessa Williams Kicks Off Cancer Fundraiser

  Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams kicked off a very unique breast cancer fundraising campaign yesterday.  She was in Mount Kisco, NY, helping with a fundraiser for “Relay For Life”.

Vanessa drove a pink post into the ground, christening the “Post For A Cure” campaign, in which Campanella Fence Center of Mahopac, New York will donate one dollar to Relay for Life for every post put in the ground through April 18.

I wish I could have seen that.  If she did it in character as Wilhelmina, that poor stake would definitely be all the way in the ground, maybe a few inches beneath!

The business owner, Anthony Campanella said in a prepared statement, “What better way to raise money to beat this disease. Fences are my business. Posts are symbols for stability and strength. Fences are a symbol of security and safety.”

Much kudos to Vanessa Williams for helping out with this great cause!
