Blue Note Karaoke For Environmental Charity

Tue, 19 May 2009 12:00:00 -0000

Fans of Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob will want to head down to the Key Club in West Hollywood tomorrow night, May 20, to attend the Surfrider Foundation’s inaugural Blue Note Karaoke Experience.

Clerks star Jason Mewes is one of the stars expected to attend the event, along with 10 Things I Hate About You’s Andrew Keegan, The L Word’s Kate French, Ben Grouley, David Chokachi and many more.

Unlike traditional karaoke, Blue Note will allow you to get up on stage and perform your favorite songs with the help of a live band. LA’s own Mister Mister Miyagi will perform pop songs from the 80’s and YOU are their lead singer.

Blue Note will help remind us that we’re all center stage when it comes to helping conserve and protect our valuable water resources. Water quality is one of the nation’s biggest environmental issues. Each year, there are over 25,000 beach closures and advisories issued in the United States due to unhealthful water quality.

Admission to Blue Note is a $10 donation. Blue Note will benefit Surfrider Foundation, a non-profit working to protect our oceans, waves, and beaches.

Jack Johnson is kicking off his shoes to lead a host of celebrities in a new auction to save America’s shoreline.

The singer is just one of many conservation-minded stars who have donated their footwear to the auction, which benefits the Surfrider Foundation, an organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches for all people, through conservation, activism, research and education.

The Barefoot Wine Rescue Project auction also features shoes donated by Cameron Diaz, Matthew McConaughey, Kelly Slater, Sophia Bush, Andrew Keegan and many more.

“Barefoot Wine is committed to helping make beaches ‘barefoot-friendly’ through the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project,” said Jeremy Soine of Barefoot Wines. “We’re donating 100% of the proceeds from this charity auction to support the Surfrider Foundation’s ongoing efforts to keep our world’s beaches healthy for generations to come.”

“This charity auction is an additional step towards improving the state of our coastlines,” added Matt McClain, Director of Marketing and Communications for Surfrider Foundation. “We’re stoked and grateful to see some of our long-time celebrity supporters kicking off their shoes and going ‘barefoot’ for the Surfrider Foundation.”

The auction runs until December 12 and can be accessed through eBay Giving Works.

Elton John’s bash was not the only one to raise money for AIDS on Oscar Night. The Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science held a function at the historic union station in downtown Los Angeles. Community leaders, actors, filmmakers and members of the fashion community traditionally show their support by attending the annual Oscar night fundraiser.

Among the celebrities in attendance included Yvette Yates (pictured below), Oscar Torre, Andrew Keegan (10 Things I Hate About You) and Aimee Garcia.

While on the red carpet, Oscar Torre of the CBS drama Cane shared his thoughts on the charity with us: “AIDS is an important issue, especially in the entertainment industry where you have friends that have passed away.”

“Awareness and education are important,” Torre added.
