Good Celebrity: Cindy Crawford helps Children’s Hospital LA


It’s a “Good Celebrity” bonanza lately! Maybe as it’s fall and people are starting to get in a more holiday-esq mood, we’ll get more reports of famous people doing famous things. Cindy Crawford has always been one of those people that you can tell has her act together. She was valedictorian of her high school class with a 4.0 GPA, and won a scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern. She’s always donated her time and energy to charity, as she lost a brother to leukemia when she was young.

Cindy donated her time and cosmetics from her Meaningful Beauty line to Children’s Hospital’s Mom’s Day of Beauty event, which gave mothers of sick kids a day off to rest and relax at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. How great is that?

“As the mothers arrived at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel’s peaceful penthouse suite, beauty volunteers including Cindy were there to welcome them with relaxing treatments, beauty goodies and camaraderie. ‘I lost a brother to leukemia when we were young so being involved in children’s hospitals has always been important to me. If, God forbid, something ever happened to my children, Childrens Hospital is absolutely where I would take them,’ Cindy tells OK!

“The nonprofit Childrens Hospital Los Angeles admits more than 11,000 sick children from various social and financial backgrounds each year, 50% of whom are under the age of four. It is not only recognized as the preeminent children’s hospital in the country but in the entire world. ‘I want to do anything I can to help this facility,’ Cindy says. In addition to her support for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, Cindy generously donated her Meaningful Beauty skincare line to each of the mothers at the event. ‘I’m happy to give what I can give, but no beauty product comes remotely close to the real work people at Childrens Hospital do every day,’ she mentions.

“Though she acknowledges that the diagnoses the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles patients and their families face are devastating, she finds hope in the effort to bring attention to the hospital’s mission. ‘This is what I can do today,’ this beauty adds! ‘We can all do a little something each day just by being aware.’”

Cindy Crawford is not only gorgeous, but she seems to be a really great person too. A lot of models seems like these empty vessels, but Cindy’s always shown she has smarts. My mom relayed this joke she heard Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) tell on the “Tonight Show” once. He said, “On their very best day, all men believe that they could get Cindy Crawford.” Although she seems very nice, something tells me that’s not actually the case. But I do believe most guys believe it.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Cindy Crawford is shown in the header with her two children, Presley, 8, and Kaya, 6, in NY on Madison Ave. Monday. The kid with long hair hanging down is her son, Presley. She is also shown at the 6/5/07 premiere of Oceans 13 with her husband, Rande Gerber. Thanks to Splash News and PR Photos for these pictures.
