Excerpt:

Elizabeth brings the spirit of conscience to more than just her films, though. Using her popularity to foster change, Elizabeth staunchly
supports Children of the Night, an organization that works to get teenage runaways and prostitutes off the street, and Animal Avengers,
a benefit she and Reitman started in order to help save stray and "unadoptable" dogs. This spring the pair organized two Animal Avengers
launch events in New York and L.A. to raise money and awareness. "It's become incredibly important for me to help like this," Elizabeth says.
"I don't like seeing anyone or anything in pain. There's something that's really touching to me about being involved in these causes. If I'm
given the ability right now to help through my celebrity, then I want to use that as much as I can."
