Swarovski, the world leader in precision-cut crystal, has partnered with a group of creative celebrities to raise funds for SOS Children's Villages, the world's largest charity for orphaned and abandoned children.
Celebrities including Jessica Alba, Laila Ali, Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart, Angie Harmon, Finola Hughes, Stacy London, Reba McEntire, Katharine McPhee, Sara Ramirez, Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood and Vanessa Williams took part in this worthwhile endeavor.
"I am happy and proud to be working with Swarovski to help raise awareness and money for SOS Children's Villages. SOS is providing orphans around the world with what they need most a family. Their work is extraordinary," says Katharine McPhee of American Idol fame.
Beginning September 25, each of the fashionable creations will be featured on eBay Giving Works and can be found. The charity auction will end on October 5.
World Orphan Week began in 2005 to create awareness of the global needs of orphaned and abandoned children around the world, and to activate volunteers to raise funds for vital programs that can support these children.
"By 2010 there will be more than 25 million orphaned and abandoned children around the world. SOS Children's Villages and Swarovski believe in providing the vital care these children need to grow and flourish in their communities."
"During World Orphan Week, I hope everyone will take a minute to make a difference in the life of a child," says Finola Hughes, General Hospital's" Anna Devane and host of The Style Network's popular makeover series "How Do I Look."
