The military gives up so much for us, especially the family that is back home. Molly Sims honored military moms-to-be with a big baby shower.
Actress, model, author and mom Molly Sims brought joy to 40 Los Angeles-area military moms-to-be as she served as guest host of a group baby shower in their honor. The event was held at The Riviera Country Club during the PGA TOUR’s 2015 Northern Trust Open. The moms are active duty service members or the spouses of deployed members of Naval Base Ventura County, Camp Pendleton and other area military installations.
Hosted by Northern Trust and the Northern Trust Open, the “Dream A Little Dream”-themed event was sponsored by baby bedding company Carousel Designs, with support from The Riviera Country Club and 4moms. In addition to lunch, generously donated by Whole Foods Market Santa Monica, each of the honored moms-to-be will receive Operation Shower’s signature “Shower In A Box” – a gift of high-quality products for mothers and babies that have been generously donated by Carousel Designs, 4moms and other companies.
“Operation Shower was created to honor military families who are experiencing pregnancy – a joyous time, but also a stressful time. For the innumerable sacrifices they make behind the scenes that enable their loved ones to proudly serve our country and protect our freedom, these moms deserve our support, our love, and an opportunity to celebrate together,” said Operation Shower Founder and Chief Shower Officer LeAnn Morrissey.
As one of the world’s top supermodels, Sims has graced the covers of Mademoiselle, French and Spanish Vogue, French Cosmopolitan and British Marie Claire, but is best known for her images in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue four years in a row. Her acting career took off after landing the coveted role as host on MTV’s “House of Style” and starring as Delinda Deline for five seasons on NBC’s “Las Vegas.” Her film credits include “Yes Man” starring Jim Carrey, “Fired Up” with John Michael Higgins and “Starsky & Hutch.” She also hosted Lifetime’s competition series, “Project Accessory.” Sims showcases her savvy sense of style and fashion on her website, MollySims.com, and recently penned the book, The Everyday Supermodel: My Beauty, Fashion, and Wellness Secrets Made Simple. Sims and her husband have a son, Brooks, and recently announced that a baby girl will soon join the family.
“As a mom, I know how difficult pregnancy can be in the best of circumstances, and I can’t imagine how challenging it must be to experience pregnancy without your spouse by your side,” said Sims. “I am honored to have the opportunity to host the Operation Shower event and thank these amazing women for everything they do at home that enables their spouses to proudly serve our country.”
The shower is just one of many military outreach activities that will take place during the Northern Trust Open. From Wednesday through Sunday, all active duty and Reserve military members, military retirees, non-retired veterans, and their dependents can enjoy complimentary tournament admission, sponsored by Quicken Loans. For access, military guests must log on at https://birdiesforthebrave.sheerid.com/NorthernTrust2015/ to have their military status verified by Sheer ID. A military ticket voucher can then be downloaded from the site.
