Jenny McCarthy is to host the 2nd annual Leather Meets Lace motorcycle event at the Playboy Mansion this weekend.

The event begins at 9am on Saturday, October 4, on Hollywood Blvd’s Walk of Fame, where motorcycle enthusiasts and celebrities will join together to ride for Generation Rescue to support families and children with autism. Later that evening, the event moves to the famed Playboy Mansion where Jenny McCarthy, board member and spokesperson for Generation Rescue, will host an exciting night of entertainment.

“Jenny McCarthy has made such an impact in so many lives through her work as an author, activist, spokesperson and board member of ‘Generation Rescue’ that we felt compelled to continue to raise awareness and funding for this amazing foundation.” stated Billy Gordon, founder of the Motorcycle Charities Association. “What more meaningful and beautiful place to bring her message than the Playboy Mansion, among friends and fellow supporters.”

Generation Rescue is an international movement of scientists, physicians and parent-volunteers researching the causes and treatments for autism and helping more than 20,000 children begin biomedical treatment.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey hosted a celebrity-studded fundraiser for autism research on Saturday night.

The gala raised money for Generation Rescue – an autism support charity established in 2005 of which McCarthy is a board member – and featured a large number of high-profile guests, including Britney Spears, Charlie Sheen, and Rose McGowan.

McCarthy is well known for her work supporting autism research, a cause she became involved with after her son was diagnosed with the condition. As well as supporting a number of organizations dedicated to children with autism, such as the TACA and the HEAL! Foundation, the model-turned-actress also wrote a book called Louder Than Words documenting her struggles to cope with a son who suffers from autism.

Jenny McCarthy will also be appearing at Maria Shriver’s annual Women’s Conference in October.
