Richardson most recently captured Bravo fans' attention when she appeared on "Top Chef" to promote amfAR, a personal commitment since her father's death of AIDS-related causes. amfAR along with Richardson's family created a special fund for those who wish to donate in her honor – all donations can be made at www.amfAR.org.
