Ali Landry, Tori Spelling, Alison Sweeney and Constance Marie are some of the big names expected to attend this weekend’s Red CARpet celebrity charity event to raise awareness of child safety in cars.

September 10th’s Red CARpet Event is the first of its kind and will utilize celebrity parents to help increase awareness for the importance of this issue, and encourage people everywhere to educate themselves about child passenger safety by visiting SafeKids.org.

“Every year, thousands of children are tragically injured or killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes,” Ali Landry told CelebrityBabyScoop.com. "In fact, motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. are the leading cause of death for children age 3 and older. As a mom, that’s a really disturbing figure. So I thought I could help by getting the word out that securing children properly is the most effective thing that can be done to protect them in the event of a crash.

LTTS Exclusive: Ali Landry Talks Car Seats And Charity

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 15:30:00 +0000

LookToTheStar.org’s Hollywood Insider Maxine Tatlonghari was able to catch up with Ali Landry at the WE CAN Community-wide Food Drive benefiting the Burbank Temporary Aid Center on November 16, 2010 at the Burbank Boys and Girls Club.

The event was co-hosted by Ali Landry and Yum! Brands. Other celebs at the event included Adrienne Maloof-Nassif, Ally Walker, Marissa Jaret Winokur and The Guncles.

One thing that I was very clear on that day is that most of the celebrities (if not ALL of them) came out that day because Ali personally invited them. We’re inspired by her commitment to amazing causes from world hunger to child safety, and her willingness to ask her friends to come and support her and her causes. She’s also very real and encourages “everyday Americans” to stand where they are… and just get involved.

Brands on November 16, 2010 at the Burbank Boys and Girls Club.

Ally, what brought you out today?

Food (laughs) … No seriously, I will do anything for kids. I’ve always been an advocate for children… especially children who may not be as fortunate as other children. I have three kids myself and when I heard about this [event], I said, “Absolutely, I would love to do it.” I did a documentary on foster care a few years ago that won a few film festivals, but I always grew up with the guidance of my grandparents and parents who instilled in me the need to give back – so anytime I can, I will.

LTTS Exclusive: Marissa Jaret Winokur Talks Charity And Cancer

Brands on November 16, 2010 at the Burbank Boys and Girls Club.

What brought you out today?

My sister-in-law told me about the day, and my friend Ali (Landry) had sent me an email a long time ago asking me to support this. As friends you like to support each other’s causes and this is a really good one. I do a lot of stuff on my own but I still try to be really good about showing up when my friends ask me to “come, come!”

LTTS Exclusive - Ali Landry's WE CAN Celebrity Charity Food Drive

Thu, 25 Nov 2010 12:00:00 +0000

On Tuesday November 16, 2010, I had the pleasure of joining Ali Landry and Yum! Brands as they co-hosted their first LA Area WE CAN Community-wide Food Drive benefiting the Burbank Temporary Aid Center and the Burbank Boys’ and Girls’ Club.

Ali and volunteers – including celebrity parents Adrienne Maloof-Nassif (“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”), Marissa Jaret Winokur (“The Talk”), Ally Walker (“Sons of Anarchy”), and Bill Horn and Scout Masterson (the “Guncles” from “Home Sweet Hollywood”) – greeted contributors curbside to collect their canned good contributions to benefit the Burbank Temporary Aid Center.

In addition to hosting the WE CAN Food Drive, Ali and her celebrity friends served the children and staff members of the Boys & Girls Clubs a pre-Thanksgiving KFC dinner complete with KFC’s world famous chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn and biscuits. In fact, when I asked the celebrities why they came out to support this cause, many cited the fact that Ali had asked them. Of course, they were engaged by the cause but it really helped to have that personal touch from Ali herself. I had the pleasure of talking with many of the stars involved, and the interviews will feature on LookToTheStars.org over the next few days.
