Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen made an appearance at the ‘HERO: A United Nations Association Campaign’ benefit reception at Paris Commune on March 27, 2008 in New York City.
HERO is a campaign meant to build awareness and raise money for orphans and at risk children living in HIV/AIDS-affected communities in Africa. Currently, there are programs in South Africa, Ethiopia, Namibia and Zambia. Initiatives include building infrastructure to provide clean water and sanitation, food and education.

Of course, this makes me wonder: does a star’s involvement in a charitable cause make you more inclined to donate your time or resources?
