Halevy Life Boston Fundraiser Announced for Thursday April 25th 2013

I’m just getting back from an extended trip that started with a visit to Boston the day after the terrible tragedy there. I have some very important updated details for next week’s event (Thursday, 4/25 from 6:30-latewhich is now also a fund-raiser for those affected by the Boston Marathon bombing (my thoughts on the matter HERE).

Firstly, if you are coming, or planning on coming, and have not yet RSVP’d please do so IMMEDIATELY. (RSVP HERE) We are already over capacity, and our hired security will not let you in unless your name is on the list – seriously, period, exclamation mark…no winky face.

Secondly, as I mentioned that this is now a fund-raiser, I simultaneously do not care about being over capacity; I care about raising money for those who need it — as our team brilliantly did with the $5,000+ it raised for Hurricane Sandy victims.  So please INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS. Admission will be a $1 donation at the door, but feel free to give more if you so choose. 100% of the money raised will go to:

1) One Boston Fund
onefundboston.org

2) Boston Children’s Hospital
giving.childrenshospital.org/ways-to-help-boston-marathon

3) Mass General Hospital
give.massgeneral.org

Please RSVP NOW by clicking here 

Lastly, yes, we will still be partying and having a good time — and I am excited to celebrate an incredibly rewarding year together! My TV show Workout From Within’s first season still debuts that night, and we will have an exclusive screening for our guests…including a special appearance by the show’s host! (Check out his recent appearance on Good Day Chicago HERE)

My iPhone Shower Radio (A Travel MUST)

I travel A LOT, and that’s probably still an understatement. One of the things I enjoy most about being home is my morning routine of listening to Howard Stern on SiriusXM as I get ready. On the road, this is incredibly difficult to do. I have the SiriusXM iPhone app with me when I travel, but hearing it in the shower is pretty much impossible…

Enter the iPhone shower radio solution:

All you need is a cup, shower cap, and your iPhone. The picture pretty much says it all. The nice part: it safely works 100% of the time!
