Name: Dedee
Pfeiffer
What is
your job? Mother of two
boys, student & former actor/producer in Hollywood for over 30 years
What
social causes are most important to you? A plethora of
causes are so near & dear to my heart. They range from animal cruelty, AIDS
Awareness, cancer research, feeding the homeless, to name a few.
What
charities do you support and how? My newest passion is bringing awareness to
The Giving Closet.
My good friend and wardrobe stylist Sam Russell created a
traveling mission to provide "PR Swag" to women in need. I help him
in finding celebrity support and currently connected him to a production
company to help turn this into a reality show. It's so refreshing to see
reality shows like Secret Millionaire and Extreme Home Make-over that actually
help real people.
Why do you
have a passion for this one in particular? Is there a personal tie?
In all my days of red carpet events and gifting suites Sam brilliantly
connected the dots in the realization that women in need can truly benefit from
all this free stuff that is already set-aside for celebrities, singers and the
media. Hearing the stories of these women that he is finding through non-profits
and social workers is reason enough to want to be on board.
How can
readers be involved? Anyone can donate gently worn clothes to The Giving Closet
and/or any non-profit that directly gives back to the public. We over consume
in the United States. We have more than enough in our homes and closets. If
you can give, you should.
How would you define social responsibility? We need so very little to
be happy. I raise my young boys to have just enough and do not always let them
get what they want. Balancing out the social scales by merely giving back is at
the core of what Sam is doing; he is a modern-day Robin Hood. I coined
that phrase for him! Don't forget that, as the world will soon here more of
him.
Lastly, I would like to add that I was the first
playmate to be featured on the cover and pages of Playboy with tattoos. I am
the "Wild Pfeiffer."
