Rebecca Romijn Wears Exclusive GREY GOOSE(R) Vodka Designer Hat to Benefit Diabetes Research at the 2010 Kentucky Derby

WHAT:

GREY GOOSE, the "World's Best Tasting Vodka," joined forces with renowned couture milliner, Ellen Christine, to create a one-of-a-kind hat worn exclusively at the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Actress and model Rebecca Romijn lent support by donning the custom designed hat at the prestigious race.

Both Romijn and the designer have signed the exclusive hat which will be auctioned on the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation website (www.clothesoffourback.org) from May 1st through May 20th. One-hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit The Barnstable-Brown Foundation to support diabetes research.

A collection of hats inspired by the original are now available for retail at Ellen Christine Millinery for $465. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from the collection will support The Barnstable-Brown Foundation as well. The store is located at 255 West 18th Street, New York City. (212) 242-2457.
