HOW IT HAPPENED
Bella Petite Model and World’s Sexiest DJ Colleen Shannon went to lunch with Ann Lauren the editor of Bella Petite Magazine.
Colleen shared with Ann why ovarian cancer research was a very personal. Since she was 16 years old and cancerous cells were found during her first routine GYN exam. This was a jarring experience at a young age, but early detection was invaluable, so Colleen wants to make sure that every woman has such an opportunity for early detection.
That is when Colleen and Ann decided to help raise awareness for Ovarian Cancer Research.
The biggest issue at hand was the fact that Colleen had committed to fly out of the country in ten days to DJ for another event!
The good news was Ann Lauren’s philosophy “every problem is a solution,” so she was not daunted by this development. Considering Ann has produced hundreds of live events she knew that she could pull it off on short notice. The clock was ticking, her brain went into overdrive, or as she calls it “sixth gear.”
First things, first, Ann Lauren contacted OCRF corporate and applied for Bella Petite Magazine to be certified and approved to be compliant and the association to promote the charity fundraiser.
Next Ann Lauren called on Bella Petite Philantrophy Strategist Maggie Keenan who stepped up and created a formula to promote OCRF on the fly! With everyone on board, we managed to put together a great benefit for OCRF on very short notice (ten days!) and were able to get the OCRF’s message out to over a thousand party-goers!
