Network Reality Show Features Visitacion Valley in Episode:
Board Member on "How to Get the Guy"
San Francisco, CA - June 26, 2006 - San Francisco Visitacion
Valley nonprofit Real Options for City Kids, or ROCK for short,
will be featured on the third episode of "How to Get the
Guy" airing Monday, June 26, 2006 at 10pm on ABC television
network. Michelle, known as "The Career Girl" and a
member of ROCK's Board of Directors, stars in the six episode
docu-soap following the lives of four single women as they attempt
to find true love.
During the episode, Michelle's background will be explored and
will include footage of her volunteering experience in ROCK's
programs. "This is the perfect opportunity to highlight to
a national audience the major impact a small nonprofit such as
ROCK can provide to a community", said Michelle. Growing
up in Las Vegas with little money, her passion for the organization
stems from the values she learned during her childhood having
the support of family as well as caring adults in recreational
programs like ROCK. Michelle said, "Because of these special
people, I was able to do really amazing things with my life, including
going to college and law school and becoming a successful trial
lawyer."
An exclusive interview with Michelle can be found at www.rocksf.org.
