On October 2nd, Washington DC area native and The Bachelor/Bachelor in Paradise cast member, Ashley Iaconetti is bringing her fellow Bachelor in Paradise cast members to the DC area for “One Night in Paradise: A Bachelor Benefit” for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s National Capital Area chapter and the INOVA Fairfax Hospital Child Life Services.
Tickets are open to all ages and guests will be able to mingle with their favorite Bachelor in Paradise cast members, including Ashley Iaconetti, Jade Roper, Carly Waddell, Jared Haibon, JJ Lane, Joe Bailey, Juelia Kinney, Joshua Albers and Lauren Iaconetti, at a Bachelor style cocktail party at Velocity Five in Centerville VA. The evening will include a silent auction of some of the cast member’s favorite Paradise items as well as a special Bachelor Rose Ceremony, hosted by newly engaged Jade Roper, where attendees could win the chance to spend some one-on-one date time with their favorite cast member.
Proceeds from the evening benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s National Capital Area chapter and the INOVA Fairfax Hospital Child Life Services, two organizations close to Ashley’s heart. Her father’s best friend and fellow Anesthesiologist at INOVA Fairfax Hospital Dr. Steven Lussos lost his son Chris at the age of 27 from complications related to his treatment during the ages of 15 -18 for T-Cell Lymphoma. Chris was aided and comforted by Child Life advocates during his Lymphoma treatments and related surgeries. The combinations of these two experiences, those of dealing with diagnosis, treatment, side effects and personal effects of living and dying from lymphoma, along with the compassionate care given to those undergoing medical treatment and being guided and comforted by members of a child life program motivated and inspired Ashley to bring her fellow Bachelor in Paradise friends together to benefit these to amazing organizations.
