Annual free event in Los Angeles, which launches a month-long national campaign of
education and social connection for women across the country. The flagship event will
take place on Sunday, May 1st 2011 at the Writer’s Boot Camp building located in the
Bergamot Station Arts Center.
Presented by O.N.E. Coconut Water, PAM will be hosted by celebrities Ali Larter,
Amy Smart, Anna Getty and Brenda Strong. The event offers an unprecedented
opportunity to celebrate pregnancy and motherhood with families and friends, while
learning about PAM’s four key initiatives – Nurture, Educate, Exercise and Nutrition.
Co-founders of PAM, Anna Getty and Alisa Donner are passionate about putting
pregnancy intelligence at the forefront for women everywhere, which was the catalyst
to establish an awareness campaign. As Anna explains, “For thousands of years
women have thrived within their community. I hope that PAM will continue to uplift
women in the spirit of creation and motherhood in our new age of community.” Alisa
adds, “What I know from my experience as a pregnant woman, mom, and teacher is
that talking, community, and mutual support are essential.”
This year’s maternity fashion show is presented by A Pea in the Pod, hosted by Amy
Tara Koch, best-selling author of “Bump it Up” and produced by Expecting Models.
The show highlights looks that will transport you to an exotic high summer excursion.
Featuring the same exuberant palette of the region’s flora, this collection incorporates
multi-color prints, rich embroideries, airy fabrics and outfits for every occasion in order
to create a fresh Marrakech vibe.
The finale piece, designed by Elizabeth Shane Quinn for A Pea in the Pod
Collection, combines the vibrancy of the Moroccan culture with the eco-friendly
conscience so important in today’s fashion industry. Using 100% all natural fabrics
and hand-dying techniques, this show-stopper will present the mom-to-be with a
dramatic convertible gown at the slip of a ribbon.
Designed for expectant moms, new parents, women considering pregnancy and
families, attendees will be treated to a variety of fun, free family-friendly activities.

About O.N.E.
O.N.E. Coconut Water, is proud to be the signature sponsor for Pregnancy Awareness Month®. Pregnancy and early motherhood place exceptional demands on a woman’s metabolism and the hydration benefits in O.N.E. Coconut Water are critically important to a mother’s health and to that of her baby.
Coconut water is an isotonic beverage, which means it contains the same concentration of electrolytes found in healthy cells and blood. The size of the molecules lets them slide right into the cells for fast, effective hydration. Potassium is especially important nutrient for addressing muscle cramps, which many pregnant women experience in their legs. O.N.E. Coconut Water is naturally high in potassium – one 8-ounce serving contains more potassium than a banana. It is devoid of fat and cholesterol. It is also alkaline, unlike tropical juices. O.N.E. Coconut Water is Mother Nature’s Gift to Mothers – organically grown, responsibly packaged and delivered with love. For more information, visit onedrinks.com.
