Maria Menounos walked the carpet at the 2012 Emmy Awards wearing a one-of-a kind couture gown by Oliver Tolentino. After collaborating on the design of this eco-friendly dress, Maria and the designer Oliver decided that the dress should be auctioned off for a charity that is close to the Extra host’s heart. The proceeds of this will support the Shining Hope for Communities, a non-profit in Kenya. SHC’s Kibera School for Girls provides a free education to its impoverished students, and The Shining Hope Community Center provides the whole community with essential services that are otherwise unavailable-health care, sanitary toilets, clean water and computer access and training.
