'Real Rhode Islander' Calendar Contestants Await Judges'
Decision
Winners to be announced at Public event this Saturday at Monet
(Warwick, Rhode Island, USA) The live interview phase of the 'Real Rhode
Islander' calendar competition to benefit the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer
Research Foundation concluded at the 1149 Restaurant in Warwick on Saturday
night. Winners will be announced this coming Saturday Night at Monet during
a celebration party that is open to the public.
With hundreds of nominations to sort through and nearly a hundred live interviews
with a panel of official judges at three locations over three weeks time,
the final decision to select 15 women and 15 men for two different calendars
is now exclusively up to those judges.
Those judges declined an interview and aren't talking.
Over the last three weeks Rhode Islanders from all walks of life appeared
for live interviews to portray their success, show their good looks, convey
the goodness of their "inner being" and stress their positive impact on the
community. Many interviewees were either cancer survivors or had family members
that suffered from the disease.
"It's all in the hands of the judges now," said the concept originator for
'Real Rhode Islander' Stacey Caputi to one contestant. "The judges have a
lot of work ahead of them."
Two 'Real Rhode Islander' calendars, one of women and one of men will each
feature 15 Ocean state residents in a classy, tasteful photo with a brief
bio. The calendars will be released during Breast Cancer awareness month
in October 2008 and will be available at all Tim Hortons, Curves, Gloria
Gemma Foundation events, Brown book store, online and numerous other store
locations. The calendar will sell for $19.99 and proceeds raised will benefit
the Gloria Gemma Cancer Research Foundation.
The announcement of winners will be at the official celebration party with
food, free giveaways, entertainment, local celebrities and more. The public
is invited to Monet Lounge behind the Providence Place Mall on Saturday,
June 28th starting at 6pm to share in the festivities.
