Ferrera Calls On Ugly Betty Co-stars To Boost Fundraiser
By WENNSaturday, March 27, 2010
UGLY BETTY star AMERICA FERRERA has recruited her TV co-stars to boost her ongoing campaign to raise funds to build an elementary school in Mali.
The actress, an ambassador for the Save the Children charity, has been working on the cause since December (09), when she appealed to fans online to aid her efforts to improve access to education in the African country.
Now Ferrera has called upon her colleagues, such as Ana Ortiz, Mark Indelicato and Michael Urie, to join her at an event in New York next month (Apr10), where they will discuss an upcoming episode of Ugly Betty in support of the charity.
The fundraiser, held at Axelle Fine Arts Gallery on 12 April (10), will also see a portrait of Ferrera as her character Betty Suarez, by painter Matt Hartley, auctioned off to benefit the Save the Children school campaign.
