Adventure Girl®, Stefanie Michaels, will have fans turning pages with a new book featuring celebrity friends, for Starlight Children's Foundation and Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric Aids Foundation

For Immediate Release- Los Angeles, Ca. November 20, 2003

Adventure Girl®, Stefanie Michaels, who's turning heads in cyber-space, will have fans turning pages with a new book due out next year, featuring celebrity friends. The book will benefit the Starlight Children's Foundation and Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric Aids Foundation.

Several celebrities have jumped on board to help Stefanie Michaels fulfill her mission of helping these organizations raise much needed funds and public awareness.

"The book is under wraps for now", states Michaels, "But, all I can say, is the star power in these pages will help drive book sales and raise monies for these charities that are near and dear to my heart".

Michaels, who has been working to support the Starlight Children's Foundation for the last 10 years, and more recently Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric Aids Foundation, sees these two organizations, on the forefront of charitable organizations for children. She feels that they are making a difference in medical research, hospital programs, support for families and physical and emotional relief for terminally ill children.

"My husband and I are so lucky to have our health, and we don't take this lightly", says Michaels. "In fact, when my husband celebrated a milestone birthday a couple of years ago, we decided we needed to gather our friends together to celebrate life and being healthy. We threw a huge party and asked that our guests bring no gifts, but to make a donation in whatever amount to Starlight. It was so gratifying to know we had raised several thousand dollars in just one evening and that people cared to make a difference. It got me thinking of ways I could do more".

Celebrities such as Tim Allen, Shannon Elizabeth, Astronaut- Buzz Aldren, to name just a few of the actors, models, designers, musicians, historical figures, personalities and sports figures, who are participating in the book.

"The list just keeps growing with Stars who want to be a part of this", states Michaels, "It's a dream come true to know that I have so much support".
