Stars To Attend Sea Shepherd Charity Event

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 15:30:00 +0000

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society will host a star-studded celebrity red carpet benefit on Saturday, October 23, to defend, conserve and protect the seas.

Captain Paul Watson, President of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and star of “Whale Wars” on Discovery Networks’ Animal Planet will commence their most daring campaign, Operation No Compromise, as well as introduce their new, fast interceptor vessel that will join their fleet this winter to Antarctica. Last year, they saved the lives of 528 whales; this year’s mission will be the boldest crusade to send the whalers home empty handed.

Featuring Avatar’s Michelle Rodriguez as guest DJ, who’ll be joining the mission to be featured on Season 4 of “Whale Wars”, and set against the spectacular backdrop of an eco-friendly estate in the Hollywood Hills overlooking Los Angeles, this private fully ethical event will allow guests to learn about “Operation No Comprise”, as well as bring awareness and raise funds to benefit their campaign.

Celebrities Back Feeding America Hunger Action Month

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:00:00 +0000

Celebrities, government leaders, major U.S. corporations and grass-roots volunteers across the nation will join together in September to support Feeding America’s Hunger Action Month – a multi-faceted effort to mobilize the public to end hunger in the United States.

Dozens of national and local events are planned to raise awareness of the pervasiveness of hunger in our nation, and to motivate everyone — from children to grandparents, and from farmers to Fortune 500 executives — to take action to help feed the more than 49 million Americans who frequently struggle to find enough nutritious food to feed themselves and their families.

“Hunger is at a crisis level in our nation. Feeding America fed 37 million Americans in 2009, an increase of more than 12 million in just four short years. More than one-third of the households we interviewed for our Hunger in America 2010 study told us that they are sometimes completely without food. That’s the bad news,” said Vicki Escarra, president and CEO of Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. “The good news is that so many individuals and companies have stepped forward to help us end hunger. Last year more than 700,000 Americans volunteered for the Feeding America network, and donations of food and funds from corporate America are at an all-time high. But more help is needed. We all need to continue our collective efforts to feed our neighbors — from grass-roots activities in small cities — all the way up to the board rooms of Wall Street.”
