Alice, who came out publicly as a couple with Dana in 2016 after decades of friendship, expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of support from fans and friends alike. ”Dana was a beautiful soul, and we were lucky to have her in our lives. We hope that this auction will make a difference and bring us one step closer to finding a cure for this terrible disease.”

The group encourages fans to participate in the auction and help support cancer research. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to organizations working towards finding a cure.

Unlike most of the public, Alice Pieszecki didn’t have to research the lives of Bette Porter and Tina Kennard. At least not the Hollywood version of their lives. Not because she was ignorant of their experiences but rather because she had lived through most of them.

Alice, Shane, Dana, and eventually Helena and Kit had shared the couple’s joys and sorrows almost since the beginning, supporting them through the hard times and celebrating each of their successes. They all loved each other deeply and with a brand of loyalty that was nearly impossible to explain. Their group had always been tight-knit and had even been perceived as exclusionary, but such was the life of the marginalized; you couldn’t freely be yourself without checking your surroundings. Not during those years. Certainly not if you want to get anywhere in your career.

It could be a lonely existence, and because of that, she would be forever grateful for every one of the women she was lucky enough to call friends, to call family.

They had been her rock. Her salvation. Not that she would ever tell them.

When Alice’s world was turned upside down by the unbearable loss of Dana, Bette and Tina opened the doors of their home and gave her a safe haven to grieve. When Alice’s career was on the brink of collapse due to poor decisions and an untreated depression after Dana’s passing, they were the ones who reached out and helped her climb out of the hole she was slowly digging for herself.

Their bond had remained unbreakable through it all, and Alice was immensely proud of ( and a little afraid for ) her friends and their decisions. They deserved happiness after all the drama life had thrown at them. And God, between them, they had enough experience to write ten soap operas in a row.
