Ronnie Kroell—a local model/singer, reality-TV veteran (Make Me a Supermodel) and former Windy City Times 30 Under 30 honoree—is trying to raise at least $7,500 for the Human Rights Campaign.

Kroell is holding a contest through his Web site, www.RonnieKroell.com, in which prizes include a trip to New York City (and a dinner date with him) as well as pants signed by Kroell and singer Lady Gaga.
