The Dream Southern Wedding partnership comes as a result of Lorenzo Lamas who is currently competing on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice. Lamas chose Boot Campaign as his charity for the competition. During an episode of Celebrity Apprentice, Lamas and other contestants were tasked with selling bridal gowns. Supporters of the Boot Campaign purchased 14 gowns for the nonprofit. The Boot Campaign in turn donated those 14 wedding gowns and a $20,000 grant to Brides Across America. This partnership led to forming the Dream Southern Wedding sweepstakes.
