120+ Reality TV Stars Coming to Temecula for 'Reality Rally'
The event is a weekend of fundraising for benefiting several charities, including Michelle's Place, Breast Cancer Resource Center.

The following was submitted for publication on behalf of Reality Rally:
Last week, Reality Rally, led by reality television show personality Gillian Larson (“Survivor: Gabon”), announced the list of stars confirmed to attend the event slated for April 10-11 in Temecula, CA. In order to qualify to be part of the event, each of the stars were required to raise $500, and many of them have eclipsed that mark and are continuing to raise funds.
Fans can continue to donate to each individual stars’ cause by visiting 2015 Reality Rally Star Line Up page and click on the donate link next to each name.

All of the funds, raised by the stars and donated by friends and fans, along with the majority of the funds raised by the two-day event, will benefit Michelle’s Place, Breast Cancer Resource Center. Established by her family after 26-year-old Michelle Watson was killed by breast cancer, the family embarked on a mission of service to make it better for others touched by this unrelenting disease. The result is a place where others can get the help they need during a most trying and challenging fight for their lives. For more information on Michelle’s Place, visit Michelle’s Place website.
