Chip Conk, CEO of Santa Barbara Medical Innovations (S.B.M.I.) announced that the company is partnering with television personality and philanthropist Leeza Gibbons to benefit the programs offered by the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation.

S.B.M.I. is the exclusive distributor of Erchonia’s ZERONA® non-surgical body slimming laser in the United States, Canada and Mexico

For the second straight year, Leeza is returning to Oscar night with her Dare2Care Gala 2010 to spotlight how Hollywood’s biggest stars make a difference. The event, to be held on March 7th at Hollywood’s W Hotel will honor the biggest names in TV, music, sports and film to raise awareness and funding for programs that are tailored for the everyday heroes who are family caregivers. S.B.M.I. will serve as a major sponsor for the event.

“After losing my Mom and my Grandmom to Alzheimer’s disease I know the potential of what disease and caregiving can do to families,” says Leeza. “That’s why I created the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation and our signature programs called Leeza’s Place.”

"I am always inspired by transformation, and ERCHONIA and S.B.M.I. are innovators in offering the tools and technologies for people to change the way they look and the way they feel about themselves,” says Leeza. “This is an ideal partnership for me because it offers so many opportunities to connect with people about the things that matter most; taking charge of our health, our fitness and our self-esteem. I love telling the stories of life changing results that produce better health and happiness."

“Our alliance with Leeza Gibbons reflects S.B.M.I.’s mission to provide much more than innovative health and beauty treatments,” says Conk. “Leeza’s message and example of personal empowerment is complimented by her commitment to bettering people’s lives and we look forward to working closely with her. We are extremely pleased to support the efforts of the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation in assisting caregivers of those who are suffering from Alzheimer's and other diseases."
