walked the Red Carpet for Wednesday's fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness
Los Angeles, CA – Award-winning Actress Alexis Rhee was among the Hollywood Stars walking the red carpet at the Breast Cancer Awareness Pre-Oscar Party, Wednesday night (Feb. 23, 2011). The Beverly Hills event takes place at Gonpachi Japanese Restaurant (134 N. La Cienega Blvd.), hosted by David Harrison Levi.
“Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the United States,” said Actress Rhee. “I take part in activities that benefit and help raise awareness for breast cancer, because it is a good cause that impacts so many lives. Even though my Mom had breast cancer and was treated she died of Alzheimer's. We need more events like this one, where we are celebrating the Oscars and we’re connecting people to breast cancer awareness.”

Levi is a Beverly Hills philanthropist, whose sister died of breast cancer. His lifelong mission is to bring awareness to breast cancer in Hollywood and nationally. Levi holds breast cancer awareness events at least once a month and capitalizes on high profile activities to bring attention to his goal. “My mission is simple,” said David Harrison Levi. “I want to see an end to cancer as I’m tired of and saddened by the loss of so many beautiful friends and family members. Early detection is the key to saving lives.”
Although the jury is still out on the Oscars race, Rhee expects to see a lot of surprises at the Academy Awards ceremony this weekend. “There are quite of few surprises in this year’s nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards,” said Rhee. “Like everyone else, I have my favorites. And the Golden Globe winners gave us a sneak peak of the stiff competition, too. My congratulations to everyone nominated, because they’re all winners in my book.”
