The Head to Hollywood charity, founded by US Weekly magazine editor Ken Baker, a pituitary brain tumor survivor, and actress/model Carmen Electra, whose mother died of a malignant brain tumor, provides brain tumor patients with opportunities to spend a day being pampered as a star and experiencing life as a celebrity. This might include attendance at Hollywood events and parties, VIP access to television and movie sets, personal meetings with stars, as well as celebrity spa and beauty treatments.Recently, Ritz Camera Centers announced they have chosen Carmen Electra as spokesperson for several new products they will be introducing, and as part of the new promotion, the company is launching a fundraising campaign for Head to Hollywood. In the next few weeks, Ritz Camera Centers will be offering a limited edition poster for the Head to Hollywood charity and posting photos taken by Carmen Electra, who is reported to be a photographer in her own right, at their website.
1. My son was diagnosed in 2002 w/brain cancer. Feb 2003 he had complete resection of the right temp. lobe 1 1/2 yrs of chemo & 6 wks of radiation. He was 14 at the time. Since then he has been strong & healthy & playing golf on a daily basis. This past week he became ill & on Thurs we discovered that the cancer was back and now on his right frontal lobe. he had a second surgery on Fri. He is now at home while the doctors are deciding on what course of treatment to begin him on. We are devastated but not giving up. I had read about "head for Hollywood" and thought immediately of my son who is now 17 and has had a huge crush on Carmen Electra for years & has her posters plastered across his walls. I would be interested to get information on how this organization works and how can I submit my sons name for consideration. If there was some way he could meet Carmen, I know that would make his year. Thank you for your time. Diane Peacock
