I was on the Farrah Fawcett Foundation Facebook page the other day and noticed that someone was trashing the quality of their products. To say I was stunned would be an understatement.

It's important that people realize what the purpose of the Farrah Fawcett Foundation is - cancer research, cancer awareness, and to help those less fortunate. All things Farrah was passionate about. And when you purchase a product from the FFF store, all proceeds go directly to help support their mission. But, with this said, I will address the quality of the products.

I purchased a t-shirt back in July of this year and was thrilled with the quality. I also received a free t-shirt from Alana Stewart a month ago. It was her way of thanking me for my contributions to their Tex Mex-Fest. So I currently have two.
Without a doubt, the quality of the material of the shirts and the thickness of the decals were top notch. Additionally, the company they use is well known for offering officially licensed merchandise. Trust me when I tell you, you won't be unhappy with your purchase. And while I'm thrilled with the quality of the products, for me, it was never about that. It simply felt great to contribute to a worthy cause. I think it's important not to forget this.
​
So, if you can, please help support the FFF by purchasing one of their products or a direct donation. I've done both. Image above scanned from the original 35mm slide. Farrah Fawcett: 46th Annual Tony Awards, May 31, 1992. ​*This image should not be downloaded for any purpose.

In today’s episode, we talk with President and CEO of the Farrah Fawcett Foundation and Farrah's long-time friend, Alana Stewart. She shares how the foundation was started and how it benefits The American Cancer Society and Stand Up to Cancer. We also talk about their upcoming Tex-Mex Fiesta benefit at The Rustic on October 20th.

“For the first time, we are celebrating the legacy of Farrah in her home state by bringing our Tex-Mex event to Dallas, instead of the traditional location in Beverly Hills. Farrah was a Texas girl so this would have meant so much to her,” said Alana Stewart.

Alana will be co-hosting along with Farrah's former Charlie’s Angels co-star, Jaclyn Smith. George Hamilton will Emcee, Honorees include Linda Gray, (of TV’s Dallas) and a special acknowledgement to Ryan O’Neal for his continued support of the FFF. Special performance by Sheryl Crow. Friends of FFF coming in from LA include: Morgan Fairchild and Donna Mills.
