Dina Manzo, Founder Project Ladybug

The Project Ladybug Fund, founded by Dina Manzo of HGTV’s Dina’s Party, formerly of Bravo TV’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” has been enriching the lives of seriously ill pediatric patients and their families since 2007.  Now, dubbing May as “Ladybug Month”, Project Ladybug has launched Lucky Locks in conjunction with SHE by SO.CAP.USA Hair Extensions. From May 1st through June 7th, supporters may visit a participating salon and receive a single red extension for a donation of just $10., which also includes removal of the extension at a later date.  For a list of participating salons, please visit http://www.luckylocks.org.

“My work with St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital is incredibly important to me and without the support of others, none of it would even be possible. I hope women will take part in Lucky Locks and sport a red extension like mine,” says Manzo.

The Project Ladybug Fund’s at Lucky Locks Initiative will include the annual Ladies Night Out event at The Brownstone (351 West Broadway, Paterson). The 5th Annual Event will feature dinner, dancing, celebrity appearances and a spectacular “tricky tray.” Tickets are available for $150.
