Hello to all!
Jennifer O'Brien Named As One of
Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs' "100 Extraordinary Women"
Wins Trip to Los Angeles for L.A. Film Festival and Once-in-A-Lifetime Experience
June 26 - 28, 2008 -Those who know Jennifer O'Brien, you can attest to the fact that her everyday activities make extraordinary contributions. Now, the rest of the country will too. O'Brien is one of the winners of Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs' "Celebrating 100 Extraordinary Women" contest which searched for women whose contributions to friends, family, community and society have made a significant impact.
O'Brien was selected from among thousands of contest entries for her work with The Magic Paintbrush Project which provides a unique engagement program for special needs individuals, their caregivers and families. Maureen Yacynych of Vestal submitted O'Brien's nomination. Yacynych traveled with O'Brien to this extraordinary event held this past weekend on Los Angeles, California.
The Star Treatment
O'Brien, along with the other winners selected, are slated to be featured in a two-page spread across national Time Inc. magazines, including: People, Entertainment Weekly, InStyle, Real Simple, Cooking Light and Health this October.
The winners were hosted during an extraordinary evening celebration of the selected women at the popular X BAR in Los Angeles. Prior to that, the women enjoyed an afternoon at Film Independent's Los Angeles Film Festival presented by Los Angeles Times. There, the women attended a private VIP screening and Q&A of the new independent women's interest film "Phoebe in Wonderland," with stars Elle Fanning (Dakota Fanning's younger sister) in her feature film debut, Bill Pullman and writer-director Daniel Barnz. Slated for theatrical release this fall, which coincides with the timing of the Time Inc. magazine spreads, the film also stars Felicity Huffman, Patricia Clarkson and Campbell Scott.
About the Program
Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs are tangible proof that "good things come in small packages," providing an easy, convenient way to include an extraordinary snack in ordinary routines without sacrificing taste. Keeping with this philosophy, the brand launched its "Celebrating 100 Extraordinary Women" search in February 2008 asking women to submit on behalf of themselves or someone else, in 100 words or less, how their everyday actions make an extraordinary impact on those around them.
