Making beautiful music together! Husband and wife duo Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald lend their voices to a good cause

Wilderness preservation is a favored cause for many of Hollywood's power players. And a veritable who's who of the entertainment industry converged in Culver City, Los Angeles for the Olive's Annual Poolside Party fundraiser to help defenseless animals. Known identities including Maggie Grace, Willa Ford, Danielle Panabaker, Krysten Ritter and Liana Liberato were among those present for the worthy charity event.

The cute couple seduced the crowd with their dulcet tones, singing their song, Now That I Found You. In November 2011, the 23-year-old actress recorded the song with Paul, a former American Idol contestant.

'I hope these days go on forever and always right by your side. You’re all I want to know for the rest of my life.' Reed said the song, which hit air waves initially via Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show, was completely unplanned.

While it remains unknown whether the pair will pursue any more projects together, there’s definitely a possibility.

'I’m a little more shy. We’ve done some open mics together. I probably will end up doing it.' Saturday's event was to help raise funds for the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a foundation which raises money to help protect and preserve Africa's Wilderness, particularly endangered species such as elephants and the Black Rhino. The foundation is set to receive 100 percent of the money made at Saturday's bash to help the conservation of wildlife and habitats in Kenya.
