AnnaLynne McCord and Kellan Lutz are asking fans to help out the St. Bernard Project in the Pepsi Refresh Challenge in hopes of winning $250,000 to help Katrina devastated families back into their homes.

Both AnnaLynne and Kellan have volunteered with the St. Bernard Project and it is a cause that is near and dear to their heart. The very first day he got Twitter, Kellan posted a picture of himself wearing a SBP shirt, and this morning AnnaLynne sent in a video urging voters to go online and vote for the St. Bernard Project in the Pepsi Refresh Challenge. With this $250,000, the St. Bernard Project will also be able to expand their Center for Wellness and Mental Health to provide vital mental health services to victims of the oil spill and provide jobs for out of work fishermen doing construction on Katrina-ravaged homes. Voting started August 2nd and will go until August 31st.

LTTS Exclusive: An Interview With Annalynne McCord

Tue, 12 May 2009 15:30:00 +0000

Best known for her portrayals of Eden Lord on Nip/Tuck and Naomi Clark on 90210, AnnaLynne McCord is one of the strongest young female philanthropists standing up in Hollywood and fighting for the charities she believes in.

Those charities include The Blind Project, which works towards partnering with indigenous organizations in South East Asia to protect those vulnerable to human trafficking and to provide restoration through education, life skills training and counseling, and the St. Bernard Project – which rebuilds homes for senior citizens, people with disabilities and families with children who cannot afford to have their homes rebuilt by contractors.

In this interview you’ll get a glimpse of her efforts to reach out to those in dire need for someone to stand up and fight in areas of their lives in which they can’t fight for themselves.
