Celebrity couple Nicole Richie and Joel Madden will host UNICEF's 2008 Beverly Hills Snowflake Lighting ceremony on Saturday, November 22, in Los Angeles.
As part of the ceremony, the pair will flick the switch to light up the UNICEF Snowflake and the 20 Baccarat chandeliers that grace Rodeo Drive, which will be illuminated for the entire holiday season to serve as beacons of hope, peace and compassion.
“We are honored to have Joel and Nicole participate in the Beverly Hills lighting ceremony,” says Caryl Stern, President and Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. “With their tremendous commitment to UNICEF’s child survival mission, Joel and Nicole are the perfect people for UNICEF to share this meaningful tradition with.”
Festivities for the day begin at 3pm, with a ton of family activities and a visit from Santa Claus along Rodeo Drive. There will be live entertainment from The 88 and Kreesha Turner, and the evening will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display atop the Beverly Wilshire.
The lighting ceremony takes place at 6pm at the intersection of Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Boulevard.
