Look To The Stars reporter B. Todi attended the bebe Luncheon and Fashion Show in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and witnessed firsthand the lineup of celebrities who gathered to make a girl’s wish come true.

Philanthropist and bebe stores owner Manny Mashouf, reality star Kristin Cavallari, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles came together again on Wednesday, March 5, to give a young person fighting to live something to live for.

The hostesses of the beautiful afternoon fundraiser were the charming ladies of the Beverly Hills Women’s Club. The wish-maker, Nyamabu, is a young woman battling sickle cell anemia who wants to be a gospel singer. And the wish granter is music producer Brent Woods, who joined Mashouf and the ladies for the afternoon.

Also at the luncheon and bebe fashion show – held at the intimate 1925 Spanish Colonial Clubhouse – were Melora Hardin (The Office), Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives), Maud Adams (Octopussy), and Debra Christofferson (Carnivale).

Mashouf, bebe, Cavallari, and MAWLA initially joined forces as fundraisers to kick-off fashion week in LA last October. Mashouf, in addition to being a MAWLA ambassador board member, has with his wife Neda made major gifts to the College of Creative Arts at their alma mater San Francisco State University and to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Since 1916 the Beverly Hills Women’s Club has engaged in philanthropic endeavors to strengthen the community with the support of early Hollywood stars such as Gloria Swanson, Will Rogers, Norma Shearer, and Joan Crawford.

Reality TV star Kristin Cavallari is set to host the Bebe Luncheon and Fashion Show supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The event will be presented by The Beverly Hills Women’s Club, and will take place on Wednesday, March 5. The reception begins at 11:30, with the luncheon starting at noon.

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation’s mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has many celebrity supporters, including Halle Berry and Jude Law, who help to bring joy to the lives of terminally-ill children.

21-year-old Kristin Cavallari shot to fame with her role in the reality series, Laguna Beach. She supports a number of charities, but over the last 12 months has made several appearances at Make-A-Wish Foundation events. In the Fall of 2007 she hosted the Make-A-Wish Foundation Los Angeles Fashion Week fundraiser that raised over $16,000 for the organization.

Tickets for the Bebe luncheon and fashion event are $175, or $1,400 for a table of 8. To purchase tickets, or for more information, call The Beverly Hills Women’s Club at (310)367-8982.
