Danielle Lerma's Fundraiser
I recently hosted a fundraiser for 9yr old, Danielle Lerma, diagnosed with HLH in Oct 2010. HLH (Hemophagocytic - Lymphohistiocytosis Disease) is very rare with 1 in 1 million people afflicted and only 5% survival rate. Danielle is a younger sister of a close friend of mine at school so it was an honor to help to raise money for her as she will need a bone marrow transplant as soon as she is stable and strong enough for the surgery and may need a liver as well. It was a fantastic event with so much support from our school and entire community!

"Tooth Fairy" - Private Screening w/Co-Star, Chase Ellison
Alana's Achievers and Athletes for Education (AFE) hosted a private screening for "Tooth Fairy" this past Saturday for over 80 kids in Alana's Achievers & AFE's "reading for life" program and other AFE programs. The students were from Florence Griffith Joyner Microsociety Elementary, L.G. Rodriguez Elementary and Sunset Elementary. All three schools participate in AFE's mentorship programs; "Reading for Life" and the SG Squad Wellness Program so having the opportunity to reward the kids for all their work was very exciting.

Why Volunteering Can Be So Rewarding
For those of you who may have missed this video posting on Facebook, I wanted to share this clip (link is below) of the last visit of "Tra & Alana's Reading for Life" program from last July. The kids did not know Tra would be there so they were so surprised and happy to see him again! The students were given certificates from participating in their reading program and a book. There is an interview with Tra Battle, my partner, former SD Charger, at the end of the clip that I hope you will watch.

Playathon Fundraiser "In Honor of Kourtney Najjar"
Last Saturday, I hosted my Youth Venture and Hasbro Playathon "in honor" of my 7yr old friend, Kourtney Najjar, awaiting her multi-organ transplant to save her life!!! The event was a great success and Kourtney had a blast! I am so happy that she was feeling good enough to come and enjoy herself! I will be posting some interviews soon from the event very soon. A friend from my old acting class came to do some interviews for us so thank you Kymia!!!

Foster Kids
I also was the celebrity Guest Host for the Living Advantage, Inc., fundraiser at Skateland in Northridge, CA (in the Los Angeles area) on Sept. 12th so it was a lot of fun and always happy to support this organization which provides virtual online network for at risk and foster youth. Living Advantage strives to create a safe and secure environment in which youth are able to store and maintain their vital life documents to ensure their continued education and their eventual successful independent living.

Alana's Achievers by Toya Bryant
A very dear and talented friend, Toya Bryant, wrote this beautiful poem about Alana's Achievers and my goal to help others and inspire people everywhere to give of themselves to help those less fortunate! Thank you so much Toya for this incredible gift that I can share with the world!!! Love, Alana
ALANA'S ACHIEVERS
By Toya Bryant
Alana’s Achievers full of childhood dreams
Their view of the world is not all they see
They live to serve others and inspire their hope
As good friends and neighbors they help others to cope
Alana’s Achievers may be small in size

Alana's Achievers
I am very excited to bring awareness to my mentorship program … Alana’s Achievers! I have been very fortunate to have had many wonderful experiences by being cast on a hit TV show, season one of “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader.” I was able to meet many famous people and go to some really cool events so I want to help other kids who may not have the desire to be in show business but would just like to play sports or take a class in the arts but can’t afford it so I want to help as many kids as possible!!!
