Carrie Ann Inaba has been named the official National Celebrity Spokesperson for the Andrea Rizzo Foundation. The foundation was created in honor of Andrea Rizzo, a dancer who was killed at the age of 24 by a drunk driver. The foundation’s goal is to help children with cancer and special needs through the power of dance.
