Hilary Duff May Go to NYSE

Hilary Duff may travel to New York this week to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

The national board of directors for Blessings in a Backpack, the charity that Hilary Duff works closely with (she sponsors a school in LA and is unofficial spokesperson, and mom Susan sits on the board of directors), will be heading to NY on December 23 to ring the opening bell.

Stan Curtis, who founded Blessing in a Backpack, recently received a call from someone with the NYSE, inviting the organization’s national board to come and ring the bell. Root said the invitation might have been prompted by increased exposure the organization has received through its affiliation with pop singer Hilary Duff.

Great to hear that Hilary’s work with the charity has helped to bring it greater profile – since that really helps this charity!! Nine members of the board will make the trip to New York.

Although Hilary Duff is not confirmed to go (she “might attend”), it may be something she does if her mom goes, or if she’s in town to visit Mike Comrie.
