Nicole Richie and Joel Madden to Light It Up for UNICEF

November 17, 2008 in Giving Back by Kristen Seymour | No comments

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are slated to be the hosts of UNICEF’s 2008 Beverly Hills Snowflake Lighting ceremony. They’ll be flipping a switch, which will light up the UNICEF Snowflake and 20 Baccarat chandeliers along Rodeo drive. These bright, beautiful lights will stay lit throughout the entire season, symbolizing hope, peace, and compassion.

The ceremony will take place on Saturday, November 22 at the intersection of Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Boulevard. The day’s festivities will kick off at 3 p.m., with the lighting ceremony happening at 6 p.m. Activities will include loads of family-friendly activities, live entertainment, and a visit from Santa. Fireworks atop the Beverly Wilshire will end the evening.

Nicole and Joel have shown a great commitment to UNICEF’s child survival mission ever since Nicole became pregnant with their little girl, Harlow, so they were a natural choice to host this event. If you’re in the area, swing by and kick off the holiday and support a good cause!
