Actress Molly Sims and Friends of El Faro hosted a special intimate cocktail reception in Hollywood to benefit the children of Tijuana Casa Hogar Sion (formerly El Faro) orphanage.
Friends of El Faro aim to enhance the quality of life for Tijuana’s children all by providing simple necessities such as food, shelter, and basic schooling.
Molly’s celebrity pals CSI star Eva La Rue, Leslie Bibb, and Kristen Bell came out to support this special organization that we hear Jennifer Aniston is a big fan of.
Molly first learned about this cause from her acting coach and immediately asked, “Ok, where do I write a check?”
Fellow guests also gushed about the importance of the organization:
Vanessa Marcil: "Last five years we’ve been working on set together for crazy fifteen, eighteen hour days and Molly would always get all our stuff together because she would do it southern girl style. She would throw all the stuff in her truck and drive it down there herself."
Josh Duhamel: "Molly is an incredible girl, she’s very, very generous and when she asked me to do something like this I jumped."
Eva La Rue: "The charity has helped this particular orphanage to make leaps and bounds in terms of how these kids live and how much more they eat and their water is clean."
Thanks to the help of celebrities like Molly Sims, the orphanage has begun to flourish and now includes seven buildings, a computer lab, and full-time school for all the children. To get more info on this special cause, check out their official website at www.friendsofelfaro.com, but in the meantime, check out our video coverage from the event below:

Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew @ 8pm
Last we saw, Danny Baldwin tweekin' out for some refuge time away from soberville. He disguised it as the rehab environment not conducive to his sobriety. I think it funny that some of these rehabbers claim they did the show to "help out" other trainwrecks, when instead what they really mean is they did the show for publicity of the show and also of course they don't want to admit they really do have a problem. watch the gang turn on Daniel when he pones away from rehab home to check in on the group. Also, shockingly the patients are faced with the decision to either take to the program or discharge themselves. Later, the celebs' family members visit the facility and participate in group-therapy sessions.
Las Vegas @ 9pm
What happens in Vegas? Plenty. Tonight's two-hour Sin City humdinger — the last episode filmed before production stopped — centers on thieves out to pilfer a rare stamp housed at the Montecito. They go postal, indeed, storming the casino and holding staffers hostage. Elsewhere, Delinda dines with Cooper, giving her a prime chance to bare the owner's myriad mysteries. Then there's Mike, whose irate mother discovers that her son got married. Other happenings: Casey's brother (Charlie Koznick) sets his sights on seizing control of the Montecito, and a staffer suffers a shocking tragedy. And it all gets beautiful, it's true, when singer-songwriter James Blunt ("You're Beautiful") makes an appearance.
Monk @ 9pm
Monk heads from the hills of San Francisco as a fugitive from justice in Part 1 of the sixth-season finale. (The conclusion airs next week.) Why is he on the lam? Monk was caught holding the smoking gun at the scene of a murder. And who's the victim? It's the six-fingered man who planted the bomb that killed Trudy. After escaping from a small-town sheriff (Scott Glenn), Monk is running from more than just his fears as he tries to clear his name and find out who framed him. But he can't do it alone, and the awkward position he puts his friends in when he asks for help causes one of them to do the unthinkable.
