Lisa’s Mission Story

What began many years ago as Rent A Date For Charity has grown into Influential Stars—a platform born from Lisa Connell’s belief that life’s greatest challenges can be transformed into something meaningful.

Living with an inoperable brain tumour and inspired by her miracle daughter, Ruby, Lisa has spent years fundraising, raising awareness and supporting causes close to her heart.

She created Influential Stars to make giving back more accessible, engaging and rewarding—bringing people together through bucket list-style experiences, VIP meet and greets, exclusive experiences and Sponsored Events.

Today, every campaign continues Lisa’s mission: turning generosity, connection and unforgettable moments into lasting support for people and causes that need it most.
