Ms. Cross is taking part in our client Orbit Baby's Celebrity Stroller Auction this fall. 

Marcia has signed an Orbit Baby Infant System, identical to one of the units she used with her two daughters when they were younger.  The unit will be auctioned online, 100% of the proceeds of the sale of which will benefit Save the Children - a remarkable organization.  Please read more about them below. 

This complete Orbit package is valued at over $900, and is one of 10 complete, celebrity autographed Orbit Infant Systems that will be part of the project.

Save the Children is a charitable organization that works with families at risk around the world.  One of Save the Children’s ongoing programs is entitled Rewrite the Future:

Children are at their most vulnerable during conflict. Just as they are beginning to learn about the world they live in, violence teaches them some brutal lessons about survival. Some children are lucky enough to stay with their families or take shelter in displacement camps. Others—not so lucky—end up on the streets, exploited for sex or cheap labor. Long after the fighting stops, children carry memories of pain and fear.

Today, 36 million children never see the inside of a classroom because their countries are in chaos. Schools are critical to protecting children and giving them a semblance of normal routine during conflict, and with a solid base of learning, these children will be equipped to help their countries rebuild once fighting has stopped. Yet most donor nations have not invested nearly enough in schools for children affected by conflict to prepare the next generation for life once peace is achieved. And without tools and knowledge to build their future, children are doomed to repeat what they learn from war—violence as a way of life.  Giving children in war-torn countries access to education is one of Save the Children’s critical goals.

Save the Children's Rewrite the Future was launched in 2007.  In its first year the program brought quality education to 3.4 million children living in 20 conflict-affected countries and raised $240 million for ongoing programs.  In conflict areas such as Darfur, Sudan; Haiti; Jordan; Nepal and Uganda, the organization builds schools, trains teachers and supplies learning materials, protecting children during conflict and laying the groundwork for future economic growth and political development.

Please stay tuned as we continue to announce the rest of our exciting celebrities participating in our Orbit Celebrity Stroller - Save the Children project.
