Jaclyn Smith and Team Raise $11,152 for Kids and Adults with Developmental Disabilities

In a bid to promote her advocacy of a better society, the actress partners with a charity organization to help raise funds to support individuals with disabilities.

The latter part of the 1900s saw Charlie’s Angels stars: Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson become worldwide sensations due to their incredible roles in the movie.

However, over the years, the actresses have shown fans that they are more than just pretty on-screen faces by engaging in various humanitarian needs and contributing to societal development in every bit they can.

An instance is Farrah Fawcett’s decision to establish The Farrah Fawcett Foundation, which helped raise funds for education and research for cancer.

Although Farrah is now late as she passed away due to cancer in 2009, her friend Jaclyn Smith is carrying on with the humanitarian work, and she revealed her latest exploit with fans through her social media account.

A caption which was accompanied by a series of photos on Jaclyn’s Instagram page read;

“What an incredible day we had on Saturday at @abilityfirstla’s AbilityFest in downtown LA!! Thank you to everyone who came out to show their support. To my “angels” who donated…, I’m so touched and so proud!”

Further details into the caption revealed that the actress and her team were able to raise a stunning $11,152 to help out with the charity works.

The photographs taken from the event which as revealed from Jaclyn’s caption took place in downtown LA also offered insight into how the event might have gone.
