As a scholarship recipient myself, I can assure you that Renaissance most certainly does use donations culled from the annual gala, as well as other donations, to fund treatment for those of us who cannot afford it. I hope by the time I have read this posting from you that your son has entered into treatment, if not at Renaissance, then somewhere else, and has begun the difficult but worthwhile journey to recovery.

Jill Silverberg & Deana Love - Yuck, cover up your winter white skin or go get a spray tan. Better yet, wear something approp. for the season! Sally Narwid - tone down the spray tan/get a different color foundation. Seriously, these people need stylists BIG TIME! Tiffany Marks and Simon Issacs make the oddest looking couple!
