Secrets & Lies - Young Angels - Revealed
Claudia's
While appearing to be "normal," a recent report accused Young Angels/ Palisades of being part of wide-reaching and secret community service activities.
Simon Meadow
The team has been dealing with allegations of generosity, kindness, sharing and hard work.  Pictured above, L-R, Blake and Chase Brandon, Amy Dersh, Deja Savoy and Jenna and Soraya Barnes revealed as king pins of clothing drive to serve homeless of St. Agatha's SHARE ministry.
 

Sort & FoldTough the group denies weekend commitment to community service, a Friday evening raid of the YMCA revealed a group of Young Angels sorting and folding uncountable bags of clothing with an estimated street value in the thousands. Young Angels President Rachel Jaffe blamed their behavior on elves and neither confirmed nor denied the ability of her team to either sort or fold actual clothes.Pizza in the Hall
After the huge bags of clothes were hauled away, the perpetrators were fed pizza then handed over to custody of their parents, one of whom was heard to say, "I tried the best I could to teach her right from wrong, I never thought she would sort and fold clothes for the homeless....  I'm shattered."
Boys and Pizza
Found near a box of folded and sorted clothes in office of YMCA Executive Director, Carol Pfannkuche, student activists said the takeover of Ms. Pfannkuche's office was a last-minute effort to avoid being identified as a young people with compassion, or YPC, as it's known in the non-profit world. Near tears, an emotional Nate Galper (right) begged authorities not tell his mother about his clothes folding.  "I'll tell my parents when I'm ready, and that may be when I go to college."

"Not Ashamed" - Team Leader  Accused of Manners. 
Tea Party
Rachel Butler-Green, Director of Young Angels Emerging Artists & Executives, was accused of engaging in a discussion of jewelry and tea party etiquette with her Young Angels Kids of Grace dance team.  When asked for her reaction, Ms. Butler said,  "I did nothing wrong, and I am not ashamed.  I have manners.  So what?  Some teens are just ready for manners and pearls. I support my Kids of Grace in their decision.  I know they're young, but they are ready."

Clothes Drive Info
Could we borrow some of your clothes to give away?  If you are tired of cleaning up your room, and hanging up your clothes, over and over again.... If you don't wear them anyway, and they'd look great on someone who is homeless and hungry.... Put those clothes in a bag and give them to us. You'd don't have to even fold them. With all the room in your closet, and on your floor, you can put new clothes on your holiday list.

ALPHA MOM OF THE MONTH
Catherine Fuller, M.D.

Last week, we realized that with one of our staffers on our South Los Angeles program was having trouble breathing.  When she couldn't get a response from her provider, we called our beloved Dr. Fuller.  She took the call, responded with love and compassion and generosity.  Our staffer was under her care within the hour.  Dr. Fuller is first and foremost a mom, and she believes the Young Angels Alpha Moms mantra, "All the children belong to all of us.  And all the moms as well."  The whole gang at Comprehensive Allergy and Asthma Associates are terrific, and have been taking care of Young Angels and their families for years.  310.828.7978 in Brentwood.Catherine Fuller, M.D.

Special Guest Announced for RUSH - 10.29.10
ASHLEY BENSON  - "Pretty Little Liars"

Ashley Benson

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact:  Brook Dougherty 310.573.9913/brook@youngangelsofamerica.org

Ashley Benson, star of "Pretty Little Liars," announced as Young Angels' Special Celebrity Guest for RUSH.

 

Ashley Benson stars as Hanna Marin, who became the school's new "it" girl after Alison disappeared. But being at the top of the social ladder is not all it is cracked up to be, especially when someone is out there reminding Hanna of how things used to be.

Born and raised in California, Benson developed a passion for theater at the age of 3, began acting when she was 9 - working mostly in commercials - and then quickly made the transition into film and television. Most recently in television, she was a series regular on ABC's "Eastwick," playing Rebecca Romijn's daughter, and she starred in the Lifetime Television movie "Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal." Her additional television credits include appearances on "The District," "The West Wing," "Scrubs" and "The O.C." Previously, Benson spent three years on NBC's "Days of Our Lives," playing Abigail Deveraux.

Benson made her feature film debut in "13 Going on 30," starring Jennifer Garner. She was also the lead in "Bring It On: In It to Win It," as the fresh-faced captain of the West High cheerleading team. In 2009, she was seen in the independent film "Bart Got a Room," opposite William H. Macy.

Benson lives in the Los Angeles area with Olive, her Maltese Shih Tzu. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, singing, the beach, the movies and watching the Los Angeles Lakers - she's a huge fan.


Ms. Benson will pull three raffle tickets after she is introduced on stage on Friday.  Those winners will accompany Ms. Benson to the step & repeat and participate in the community service interview conducted by YA Presidents, Deja Savoy and Rachel Jaffe, and the Young Angels Film Intern and Photographers team.
