Brew Bits: Snow me the money!

Budding preacher and tight teef connoisseur DeShawn Snow can't catch a break. Her foray into the fundraising world does not seem to be working out for a sistah. You may remember he first fancy charity shindig on last season's of Housewives ended when Atlanta's elite sucked up all the free food and drink then went silent during the silent auction.

Snow reportedly held another failed fund raiser for Ivy Preparatory Academy in August at some swanky hotel in Atlanta. But weak ticket sales and sponsorship ballouts ended Snow's show. "Night of a Thousand Stars Gala 2009" (whew, we fancy no?) boasted $6,500 V.I.P. tables. Ivy Prep has yet to receive a dime from DeShawn or a "what had happened" call.

Doing Good Feels Good: DeShawn Snow Foundation

Yes DeShawn (who says "juuurry" instead of "jewelry") was excommunicated from "Real Housewives" but let's not lose sight of the fact that her foundation, the DeShawn Snow Foundation does good for young girls through mentoring and empowerment programs. Her foundation's mission is to foster confidence in teenage girls while simultaneously helping them to make sound and smart decisions about their life. We all see very poor examples of what happens to young girls who have no one to look up to or to go to for help and advice. So I think we should applaud DeShawn for not just being a "shop for Louboutins and Indian hair" all day NBA wife, she actually uses her resources and her time to actively give back and make a life long impact on the lives of young women.

"I established the DeShawn Snow Foundation to assist teenage girls who face challenges and roadblocks like I did. I believe that together we can make a difference and have a substantial impact in steering our teenage girls toward successful life paths. I want to be part of making a difference, so I have dedicated my life to empowering and enriching the lives of girls."
