Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta along with her former cast mate Sheree Whitfield, who quit RHOA after she got fired a few weeks ago, did some good in the hood over the weekend.
Parks & Whitfield joined the Wish Upon a Hero Foundation for their “Be A Hero” event at Urban Fitness in Atlanta.
Wish Upon a Hero is a non-profit organization that provides assistance to just about anyone with things like living needs, healthcare needs, pet needs, service needs, and educational needs.
Sheree assisted a family requesting sensory toys for their Autistic child while Phaedra assisted a family seeking help with gas money to travel to doctor’s appointments for their daughter, who is suffering from leukemia.
Details + photos & video from the “Be a Hero” Atlanta event below…
besides that, it looks like it was a pretty positive event.
Sheree brought along her daughter Tierra Fuller, who recently revealed that she wants to follow her mom’s footsteps into reality show realm.

Sheree presented Brianna and her family with $250 to assist them with purchasing toys and supplies for autistic children.
Phaedra’s family requested $250 for gas money so that they could make trips to/from their doctor’s visits. The high-profile attorney graciously went above and beyond, presenting Addy and her family with the $250 they asked for PLUS and additional $750 Walmart giftcard to assist in any other needs they may have.
According to Wish Upon A Hero’s website:
We are uniquely different than most charities because our mission is not focused on a single defined cause. The Wish Upon A Hero Foundation supports a broad range of needs. We are non-discriminatory of age, sex, location, or cause. We grant the wishes of newborns all the way to senior citizens.
Not only do we support the most well known causes in the world (Cancer, Heart Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Down Syndrome, Autism, etc.) we have also become the organization that raises money and awareness for rare diseases and specialized disabilities.
Major props to both Phaedra and Sheree for volunteering their time and money for such a worthy cause and special thanks to Abigail Gerstner of Bordeaux PR and Wish Upon A Hero Events Director Jill Pavel for the invite!

$250 Sherry (Sheree)???!!! Wow, I work a 9-5 and could’ve done better than that. It’s charity for Pete’s sake! Good job Phaedra!
S/N: And for Sherry to cheese so proudly with her $250 check. The jumbo check itself probably cost more than that.
But wait… @Really how can yu be mad at Sherry. I think she did an awesome job even participating considering she doesn’t have a JOB. At least you still have your 9to5.
Since Kandi could take care of every motherf$!!!’ in here why isn’t she volunteering!
$850 + $250 = $1100……the checks says $1000, somebody wasnt paying attention in 1st grade math class, lol
@MichelleMorgan Im laughing for realz at this post! But since you are checking math problems can you tell us whats left after Sheree subtracts $250 from her unemployment check?
I’m tripping on the where the post says anything about $850?
It says; $750 + $250 = 1000
Reading skills……
thank you miss divine!! some ppl i sweaer.. good cause! i’m glad these two participated!
Phaedra has been my SHERO long before she was a household name! She’s generous and loving and sincerely concerned with community service. Everything she does is above and beyond – so no surprise here. I love this lady!
I don’t know Sheree, but anyone who makes a differce, regardless of how small, is cool with me. Because when you have nothing, a little goes a very long way.
It is about time they do something for someone else and not be somewhere talking about namebrands and trying to show off their materialistic items.
Its nice to see people give to charity
very nice look ,for them both.
On another blog they only told half the story and the commentors went in on how cheap Sheree was being. Coming here I see you had the truth that $250 was the suggested price and that Phaedra additionally added $750.
Sheree couldn’t swing more than $250? Her handbag is 10g. Why not at least $500??? Dang
I drink to @ LaKisha comment…lol and Sheree or Sherry needs to work on her CUSTOMER SERVICE skills when it comes to public speaking..
Folks will never be satisfied…Sheree could have donated $1million and people would still be hating….How much money in charitable donations have you all contributed.
I’m not trying to be rude or anything but… is Phaedra pregnant? She doesn’t look huge or fat or anything like that but it does look like there’s a little bulge in her belly region. If she is I wish her and her husband all the best. If not well then kudos for taking care of the community!
