Prior to this year’s MTV Movie Awards, celebrities and VIPs gathered at the Secret Room Events Style Lounge at the SLS Hotel and discovered the event benefited a special cause—Rock It 4 Reef.
The Rock It 4 Reef charity was set up to help a little boy, Reef Carneson who at the tender age of six is bravely battling cancer. He has endured leukemia and a bone marrow transplant. He now suffers from Graft Versus Host Disease and skin cancer. Yet he still loves to dance to Pharrell’s “Happy” song. His parents moved from their native South Africa to Los Angeles for Children’s Hospital’s life-saving treatments for their son. And the Secret Room Events hosts (kudos to Rita Branch) deserve recognition and hugs for raising donations and helping this plucky kid.
Also part of the awesome media event were some of today’s most fashionable and luxurious companies, products and pampering services. Dr. Jason Emer, beauty specialist, revealed his caring nature and performed on-site treatments with amazing results. Happy celebs got gift certificates for Dr. Emer’s Beverly Hills-based office. Fashion icon Sue Wong was showing off her latest collection of dazzling red carpet styles that embraced old Hollywood glamour.
