Los Angeles, CA -- You cared enough to watch reality shows, now the stars care enough to give something back.

Reality show alums have come together to form The Reality Cares Foundation which does philanthropy work for people afflicted with diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer and HIV/AIDS.

Founder Todd Michael Krim, a health care attorney in Los Angeles, says the foundation gives reality show stars a chance to put their new-found fame to good use.

While Krim has never been on a reality show, he says stars like Brad Lolcman of "Average Joe," Reichen Lehmkuhl of "The Amazing Race" and Dr. Will Kirby of" Big Brother 2," who also serves as the foundation's chief medical advisor, have all joined forces.

Krim figures he'll be able to accumulate more reality superstars as the reality TV show craze continues.

The group's first benefit will be "The Real Deal" on April 22, in Chicago, which will raise money for HIV/AIDS charities and will bring together reality shows' most famous gay cast members.
