We may look green in the video, but we had a blast video chatting with Kelly Ripa… and it was for a good cause.
You see, Kelly Ripa has joined forces with Electrolux to raise funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). And she’s getting back to fundraising basics with… Lemonade Stands!
Well, there is a modern twist — they’re virtual.
Confused?
Let Kelly explain…
Janice and I love seeing companies partner with charities to create fun, feel good promotions where everyone wins.
And this virtual lemonade stand campaign is a great way for you to support OCRF and have a chance to win your dream fridge! (I sure wish I had one… my sad old fridge turns my berries into ice blocks and sours my milk before the due date.)
You can set up your own virtual lemonade stand — if you’re an American — or you can shop at a friend’s stand. Since Janice and I are secretly Canadians, we can’t set up our own stand, but we can still donate through our good friend Gabrielle’s.
So once you’re laughed at how terrible Janice and I look over skype, then hop over and create your own virtual lemonade stand or stop by Gabrielle’s.
(And if any of you know how next time we can ensure skype does not turn us green, we’d love to know. On our webcam quick capture, it didn’t look green. But through skype, even in our local playback window, our white background showed up green.)

Girls you have no idea how absolutely jealous of you two I am right now (green faces and all!). I love Kelly and of course the Regis and Kelly show. I tape it everyday and watch it in the evenings. It’s my mommy sanity and my gosh what I wouldn’t do to spend 5 minutes talking to her. Except I’d make a total fool of myself so it’s probably best I don’t LOL
This is a great cause!

Awesome! Kelly seems like such a down to earth, genuinely sweet gal. I love the idea behind these virtual lemonade stands.

I love Kelly Ripa, she is such a joy! I will have to go open up a lemonade stand…sounds easy! And the two of you need to make it to Central Park one of these days! 🙂
