Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:00:00 -0000

On March 7, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers – along with other Hollywood stars – joined the 18th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Party at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.

The gala has always been the leading fund-raising event in Hollywood on Oscar night, and raises AIDS awareness with help of many adored and admired artists among whom at this year’s party appeared: Milla Jovovich, Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere, Victoria Beckham, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, Simon Cowell, Joaquin Phoenix, Jamie Foxx, Jason Mraz, Joe Zee to name a few.

After dinner and cocktail hour, Grace Jones’ predictably unpredictable performance added even more excitement and beauty to the event, which was produced by Virginia Fout of V Productions and designed with floral feeling by Antony Todd.

The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) was established in the United States in 1992 by Sir Elton John. The EJAF’s mission is to support innovative HIV prevention programs, efforts to eliminate stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS, and direct care and support services for people living with HIV/AIDS. It has raised over $175 million since inception in support of projects in 55 countries around the world, including significant funding dedicated to programs in their respective home countries.

EJAF-US awards grants to community-based projects in the Americas and the Caribbean. EJAF-UK focuses its grant-making on programs in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Click here for further information.

Celebrity Guests Celebrate Oscars At Charity Parties

The stars were out for charity over the weekend to celebrate the 82nd Annual Academy Awards.

The eighth annual Night Before gala hit Hollywood on Saturday night to raise money for the Motion Picture & Television Fund, an organization that supports people in the Southern California entertainment community with health and human services needs.

Among the stars to converge on the Beverly Hills Hotel for the event were George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Steven Spielberg, Robert Downey Jr and many more.

“The generosity of the film and television community never ceases to amaze and none more so than Hollywood’s great legacy of ‘caring for our own’ through support of the MPTF,” said Ken Scherer, CEO of the MPTF Foundation.

The stars were out again on Oscar night for the annual Elton John AIDS Foundation viewing party . The party is held every year to raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, an organization established and overseen by the singer that funds educational programs targeted at HIV/AIDS prevention and the elimination of prejudice and discrimination against HIV/AIDS, and for programs that provide services to people living with HIV/AIDS.

“We give them the best that they can possibly afford,” said Sir Elton. “It’s beautiful inside the tent, the food’s great, everyone will be served the best wines, but they need to be because they’ve paid an awful lot of money for a seat.”

Guests at this year’s event – held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood – were treated to an auction and a live performance by Grace Jones. The guest list included Adam Levine, Alan Cumming, Betty White, Chace Crawford, Hayden Panettiere, Heidi Klum, Jason Mraz, Jeremy Piven, Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Groban, Miley Cyrus, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Selena Gomez, Serena Williams, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, Simon Cowell, Slash, Tim Allen, Victoria Beckham and many more.

We Are The World: Coca-Cola Joins Celebrities For Charity

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:30:00 -0000

Twenty-five years ago, the iconic recording, “We Are The World” generated millions of dollars to help ease suffering in Africa. With a contemporary version of the song being released today to aid the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, Coca-Cola will be doing its part to support the cause.

“When we heard about Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie's incredible plan to re-record ‘We Are the World 25 For Haiti’ to benefit earthquake relief in Haiti, we knew instantly that Coca-Cola had to be involved and help however we could," said Katie Bayne, Chief Marketing Officer,  Coca-Cola North America. “Spreading the word about this great program is something we can do quickly and effectively by activating Coca-Cola’s powerful communications network.”

Coca-Cola is joining forces with AEG Live, Group M Entertainment, Fremantle Media Enterprises, iTunes Store, YouTube, and Visa to help amplify awareness for “We Are The World 25 For Haiti.” Beginning today Coca-Cola will use a variety of assets to encourage millions of people across the United States to tune into the television broadcasts of the “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” video and to visit www.WORLD25.org to download the song and support those in Haiti. Downloads will also be available on iTunes, and through a partnership with YouTube, the video will be viewable on the We Are the World 25 YouTube Channel. Immediate donations will be made possible by clicking on the “Donate Now” button on YouTube or by downloading the song on iTunes.

The long list of celebrities who have taken part in the recording includes Bono, Jason Mraz, Akon, Wyclef Jean, Usher, Pink, Céline Dion, Natalie Cole, the Jonas Brothers, Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, Lil Wayne and many, many more.

“The We Are The World Foundation and all of the artists who participated in the recording of ‘We Are The World 25 For Haiti’ are thrilled that The Coca-Cola Company has joined with us in our commitment to bringing relief to the country of Haiti and its people,” said Jones. “Coca-Cola’s involvement in this vitally necessary endeavor is a re-affirmation of my belief that if we all use our resources collectively, we can bring about great positive change in the world and improve the lives of our fellow man.”

Coca-Cola will share the “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” message in multiple ways across a network of assets that have the combined power to connect with almost 25 million people:

Coca-Cola Digital Network (CDN): For the first time ever non-stop messaging will be carried across Coca-Cola’s 29 electronic billboards located in 20 major cities. From 9:00 p.m. ET on Friday until midnight Saturday, the boards will display the “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” logo and remind people to view the video and visit the website to download the song or purchase the DVD.
Times Square Spectacular: “We Are the World 25 For Haiti” messaging similar to that featured on CDN will run on the famous Coca-Cola sign in Times Square.
My Coke Rewards: Emails and texts encouraging people to view the video and visit the website will be sent to the 15 million members of My Coke Rewards. Visitors to www.mycokerewards.com will also be able to get their first look at the “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” logo and link to the website to download the song or buy the DVD.
Coca-Cola Fan Page on Facebook: News about “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” will be shared with the more than 5 million Coca-Cola fans on one of Facebook’s most popular fan sites. Fans will be invited to visit the website and download the song or purchase the DVD.
Social Networking: Celebrities and athletes that are part of the Coca-Cola Family will be using their websites, Facebook pages and Twitter feeds to encourage people to join them and Coca-Cola in supporting “We Are the World 25 For Haiti.”

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the response we’ve received for ‘We Are The World For Haiti.’ When we see organizations like Coca-Cola stepping up to dedicate resources to help us get out the message, it reminds me that this is truly a labor of love,” said Richey. “Through the commitment of companies like Coca-Cola and the support of millions of people who care, we believe we can help make a significant difference in the lives of those in Haiti.”

Supporting “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” is part of Coca-Cola’s long-term commitment to helping make a difference in the lives of others and encouraging people to get involved themselves. Already in 2010, Coca-Cola has initiated marketing efforts to help benefit the Boys' and Girls' Clubs of America, Special Olympics and American Red Cross.

“Knowing they are helping to give back is part of why people choose to drink Coca-Cola,” continued Bayne. "By sharing the important message of “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” with such a vast audience we know we can help enlist many others to joining us in making a difference for those in Haiti."

In addition to support for “We Are The World 25 For Haiti,” the Coca-Cola System is helping aid disaster relief in multiple ways. Efforts include donations of thousands of case of water and other products in Haiti, monetary donations from Company associates around the world to their Coca-Cola colleagues in Haiti through The Coca-Cola Company’s Global Disaster Relief Fund and a total contribution of $2 million to the American Red Cross and Latin American Red Cross

Jason Mraz Gives Eco Tips For Toilet Users

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:00:00 -0000

Written by Tim Saunders

Singer Jason Mraz has blogged some eco-tips with a difference on his MySpace page.

“Recent News from our friends at the Natural Resources Defense Council say that Americans’ addiction to two-ply, super soft toilet paper is causing greater harm to our environment than our gas guzzling cars," he wrote. "In order to produce all that perfectly plush paper, companies must harvest tons of virgin trees, which the reaping of means less oxygen for the atmosphere to offset or all the carbon that seems to be frying us here on the surface.

“The US is the country that consumes the most forests specifically to fulfill [toilet needs]. If you travel abroad, you may find discomfort in the thin one-ply offered up pretty much everywhere else. But that’s because most other countries are more careful about their resourceful trees and/or use recycled and post-consumer paper in the manufacturing of toilet tissue.

“So I’m writing this today to invite you to buy only recycled or large percentage post consumer paper for your household, school or office. If you aren’t the one buying it, then encourage your janitorial staff to consider it. The paper isn’t nearly as soft, but it’s just as durable.”

Mraz goes on to explain some very useful Toilet Tissue Tips designed to help the environment.

“For more helpful blogs like this one, intended to enhance your life and the lives of others around you, check out www.SuperForest.Org. It’s my personal favorite.”

Jason Mraz Supports 13 Indigenous Grandmothers To Save The Earth

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:00:00 -0000

Written by Tim Saunders

Singer Jason Mraz has blogged about his support for a non-profit group of elderly people who want to use their collective knowledge to save the world.

“Recently I was turned onto the work of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers; an action team of women from the four corners of the globe who have formed an alliance to bring balance to Mother Earth and all her inhabitants for the next seven generations to come,” he wrote in his latest blog. “To do work intended for seven generations is a remarkably selfless act indeed. Imagine making something that you know is meant for someone 200 years from now. It’s like planting a tree. In your lifetime you may not be able to swing from it’s branches, but long after you’re gone, many families will.”

The alliance of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers was formed in 2004, when a group of concerned women from all over the world—the Arctic Circle, North, South and Central America, Africa, and Asia—arrived at Tibet House’s Menla Mountain Retreat in upstate New York. Within a few days of convening, the grandmothers agreed to form a global alliance to work together to serve both their common goals and their specific local concerns.

According to their mission statement, the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers “represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children.”

The long term aims of the group have captured Jason Mraz’s attention and support.

“Are you choosing to think it’s too late to save the planet because you’re not seeing immediate results?” he wrote. "Are you personally choosing not to change your diet and bad habits because you think it will make this week suck? Well, think of that distant you in the future who will look back and hug you for the powerful shift in consciousness you decided to make right now.

“There are many people around the world who are still connected to the Earth, who see that we DO rely on her gifts, that we live on her body, that we, ourselves sprouted from Nature. Modern society, city life, and TV technology fool us too often and we forget our roots. Protect the air and water, all that which gives us life and learn from what the plants are trying hard to teach us.”

To learn more about the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers and their work to make the world a better place, visit their website.
