Thanks to actress Olivia Munn, this week's Vanity Fair and Juicy Couture celebration in Los Angeles benefited the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
Munn, who stars in "The Newsroom" on HBO, is a native of Oklahoma City and majored in journalism at the University of Oklahoma.
Vanity Fair's invitation-only, star-studded event, held in celebration of the first-ever "Vanities" Calendar, took place at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.
Munn joined the magazine's senior west coast editor Krista Smith and "Vanity Fair” Vice President and Publisher Edward Menicheschi as co-hosts for the fundraiser whose guest list included Brooklyn Decker, Grace Gummer, Paul Haggis, Zoe Lister Jones, Minka Kelly, Ellie Kemper, Jaime King, Ali Larter, Angela Lindvall, Eva Longoria, Kate Mara, Max Minghella, Gretchen Mol, B.J. Novak, Adepero Oduye, Cote de Pablo, Crystal Reed, Louise Roe, Vinessa Shaw, Russell Simmons, Hannah Simone, Jurnee Smollett, Aaron Sorkin, Estella Warren, Katheryn Winnick and Mary Elizabeth Winstead and others.
It is part of the magazine's annual week-long series of pre-Oscar events in support of charitable causes. No word yet on the final amount of the event's donation to the RFBO.
The 2013 "Vanities" calendar, which is included in the March issue, features young actresses previously featured in the“Vanities” section of the magazine including Emily Blunt, Shailene Woodley, Mila Kunis and Olivia Munn.
Founded in Oklahoma City, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is dear to Munn, according to press information.
As the state's largest hunger relief organization, it provides food to feed more than 90,000 – nearly half of which are children - each week through a network of more than 1,000 schools and charitable feeding programs in central and western Oklahoma. As a member of Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity, the organization also helps more than 37 million Americans who receive food through their network each year.
With the organization's administrative costs below four percent, 96 cents of every dollar donated helps to directly provide food to Oklahomans in need, according to press information.
