TV host, producer and author Kimberlie Dykeman  has just signed on as a 2010 returning Grassroots Fundraiser for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, continuing her promise to hold LIVESTRONG™ as the main beneficiary of a portion of the proceeds from all book sales of “Pure Soapbox”.  Book-sample-3-cover-finalThis year, Dykeman has also elected to automatically offer up a donation from sales of all other SOAPBOX® products, including the audiobook version of “Pure Soapbox” (coming out nationwide in January), speaking engagements, SOAPBOX® In-Home Inspiration parties (officially launching in January) and live events.   Having been both intimately affected by cancer and impacted by friends who are striving through the trauma of this deadly disease, Dykeman feels personally convicted to grow her support for this world-renowned charity, and views this as an to further inspire the global community to donate to the fight against cancer.

Outside of her own company’s contributions for 2010, Dykeman has boldly set a goal of $5,000 for additional donations from the global public.  Dykeman’s websites, www.puresoapbox.com, www.kimberliedykeman.com/blog, and all social media sites will maintain this direct link to her LIVESTRONG™ Fundraising url so visitors can freely post their own donations online, both in honor and anonymously, throughout the year.

From the minute she landed in New York, Kimberlie Dykeman took in fabulous new experiences every chance she could!  It began with a trip to the General Motors Building to join the crowds at a taping of CBS’s The Early Show…  Dykeman not only shook hands of the fabulously friendly anchors, she also garnered some serious camera-time for the cover of her book, Pure Soapbox, and  handed off a copy to the producer.  Just in case they needed a great guest to motivate their viewers in the New Year!

Dykeman stayed at the swanky SoHo Grande Hotel, dined at Lure and  Megu and took in the amazing contemporary West-Side Story-esque musical, In the Heights, at the Richard Rogers Theater.    A junket into Greenwich Village was distracted by the annual SantaCon celebration, where Dykeman asked not ONE but TWO Santas for a few Christmas gifts!   IMG_0283  IMG_0278 

 

 

 

 And a fabulous meeting with a top executive at the Discovery Network inched the TV Host and producer even closer to that ONE HUGE WISH LIST ITEM …of a talk show on the newly launching Oprah Winfrey Network!  After all Discovery and OWN are officially partners for life, now; and it’s about time Kimberlie Dykeman and the SOAPBOX brand hit the Big Time to motivate the masses!

The evening of Andy Roddick’s 4th Annual Fundraiser Gala was indeed wonderfully festive, fun, and filled with folks jazzed to drop some serious cash on auction items, for the benefit of four Austin-based children charities.  Kimberlie Dykeman was honored with the opportunity to host the only interview of Sir Elton John before he hit the performance stage to prove, yet again, that there is only one ROCKET MAN! 

 

Side-by-side on the red carpet with other Austin media, Dykeman also had camera conversation with the host himself, Andy Roddick; his wife Brooklyn Decker, crooner John Legend, and Colorado Rockies’ Huston Street.
