ASPS is a cause close to LisaRaye's heart because her long time friend and makeup artist, 28-year-old Jemisha McFerrin, suffers from this little known and life threatening disease. Jemisha is the founder of Jem's Life Foundation, the event's benefiting non-profit 501 c(3), which she established to help save the lives of those suffering from ASPS, beginning with her own.
The benefit will be comprised of a night of philanthropy and lifestyle with celebrity performers and a live luxury auction sponsored by Lavish Lifestyles Concierge. Celebrities are taking the stage to support this extraordinary cause by performing alter-egos talents to help raise money for Jem's Life Foundation. Among the celebrities performing on the night of December 2, are Tatyana Ali ("Fresh Prince of Bel Air," TVOne's "Love That Girl!"), actress Elise Neal ("Hustle & Flow," "All of Us"), actor Keith Robinson ("Dreamgirls"), along with other surprise celebrity performers!
