The Legendary Chloe Commercial

The commercial that started it all!

 The project that brought Legendary Women, Inc. together. Co-founders Liz De Razzo and Margaret Bates joined forces after Ms. De Razzo's idea for a billboard in Los Angeles that grew to a commercial of epic proportions. The commercial highlighting both Chloe Sullivan as a role model for young career-minded women and Allison Mack's dedication to her role of almost a decade eventually led to the idea that an organization could grow to do highlight other women---real and fictional---who are prominent in the media and serve as examples of what strong women can achieve. The commercial aired on May 14, 2010 in Los Angeles and then, again, on May 20, 2010 in New York and Los Angeles both. Variety called it..."as amazing as a small-town girl from Kansas becoming pals with a boy from Krypton."

The 2011 Fundraiser for The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation

The first official charitable activity of Legendary Women, Inc. During "Operation Truth and Justice," the Chloe Sullivan fandom joined together to raise money in 2010 for The Reeve Foundation. Inspired by this tradition, Legendary Women, Inc. adopted this foundation as its signature charity. Every winter, we host a fundraiser for them with one hundred percent of the profits going to The Reeve Foundation. Last year, we were able to raise over fifteen hundred dollars.

We were even written up in there "The Daily Dose" blog here:

Across the Airwaves ChloeFest 2011

Our friends at the Across the Airwaves Podcast (www.acrosstheairwaves.com) were kind enough to invite Ms. De Razzo and Ms. Bates to participate in their podcast celebrating Chloe and Allison Mack's return to Smallville in the episode "Collateral." Ms. De Razzo provided an interview about our organization and the commercial, while Ms. Bates participated in the podcast discussion, commemorating all things Chloe, which you can check out here.

Legendary Women, Inc. Forms the First Virtual Team to Compete in IBG, Inc.'s 3rd Annual "All Things" Fundraiser

Every year, Ms. De Razzo's other charity, IBG, Inc. hosts the "All Things" event where The X-Files fans all over the globe raise money by watching the episode "All Things" and other Gillian Anderson-related movies and episodes. We formed the first online team with participants as far away from Scotland watching both that episode and the original The X-Files movie, The X-Files: Fight the Future. We were able to raise over two hundred and fifty dollars through our team for the eventual donation to the South African Youth Education for Sustainability (SA-YES).

Legendary Women Teams Up with Moving Creations, Inc. at Wizard World's Philadelphia Comic Con

In June 2011, our president, Carolyn West, and our Public Relations and Media Contact, Morgan Glennon, attended the Wizard World sponsored Philadelphia Comic Convention. They worked with Emily Nussdorfer to help raise over two hundred dollars for Moving Creations, Inc.  a Philadelphia-based charity that helps mentor young girls through dance and the creation of art such as decorated masks. Legendary Women, Inc. hosted a contest for convention attendees to vote for their favorite comic book heroine by placing a dollar in a bin by a picture of their favorite character. Wonder Woman won. We hope to be able to go back to the same convention next year and loved working with Ms. Nussdorfer and her organization!
