We will also have a number of superhero-themed activities including fantasy photo booths, and meet and greets celebrity guests, and well as special guest superheroes! </div><div><br></div><div>We are reaching out to anyone who has previously done any form of modeling or acting as It is very important to us that our event stays true to the "Hollywood" theme and "really delivers" when it comes to the authenticity of our guest's experience! We are basically looking for someone who might have either the right look, the right persona, or maybe even some experience in event participation as well! <br></div><div><br></div><div>At this time, I would like to ask if you would please take a moment and consider the opportunity to show your support for homeless pets by participating (for only a few hours) in our Hollywood for Homeless Pets event portraying a famous Marvel or DC Superhero or Villain!! We would ask you to take part in meet and greets and photo ops with the public much like costumed characters would do at a theme park or major event. A few ideas of some superheroes and villains we would be looking for would be: Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Superman, Batman, The Joker, Spider Man, The X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, etc. </div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, because this is a fundraising event for a non-profit animal charity, we would hope you would consider participating on a voluntary basis. We would only ask a few hours of your time, in exchange for the invaluable experience gained, and the satisfaction of helping to support our homeless pets. You will also be considered a sponsor and will receive acknowledgement of your donated time publicly if requested. You will also be able to take advantage of the benefits of being considered a special guest at our event and all that implies regarding food/drink and hospitality. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
