<br />
<br />
As part of National Preparedness Month this September, the American Red Cross has announced a $1 million grant from Disney to help kids and families prepare for disasters and other emergencies.
Disney’s investment will support the Red Cross Pillowcase Preparedness Program as well as other youth services. Disney also developed an interstitial that will air throughout the month of September on Disney Channel, which highlights simple actions kids can take to prepare for emergencies.
“We are so thankful to Disney for their support of the American Red Cross,” said Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the Red Cross. “Their generosity and collaboration is showing the public, especially our youth, how easy it is to prepare for the unexpected. Disney is helping us to prepare communities across the U.S., and they’re by our side as we respond to disasters.”
Earlier this year, Disney donated more than 100,000 Mickey Mouse plush to the Red Cross to give to children affected by disaster, who have lost everything. “The Mickey Mouse plush bring comfort to those impacted by disaster, which brings a sense of normalcy back into children’s lives,” said McGovern.
The Red Cross Pillowcase Preparedness Program – an initiative that eases children’s fears about disasters, emergencies and evacuations – will first pilot in New Orleans and Los Angeles. Children learn to pack their favorite items from home into a pillow case for easy transport, and parents learn ways to dispel their children’s concerns about evacuations.
“It’s essential for families to be prepared so kids feel safe in an unpredictable situation,” said Jay Rasulo, senior executive vice president and chief financial officer or The Walt Disney Company. “With the compassion and expertise of the Red Cross, along with Disney’s unique position to reach millions of households, together we hope to educate and empower families across the country with the tools and resources they need to feel secure in any environment.”
In addition to the grant, Disney’s Friends for Change – a global initiative that inspires kids and families to take action and make a difference in their communities – developed an interstitial that will air on Disney Channel and the Friends for Change website throughout September. The spot, which features Disney Channel star and Friends for Change Ambassador Debby Ryan (“Jessie”), shows kids three easy steps to prepare for the unexpected: Get a kit, make a plan, and be informed. The spot also encourages kids to involve their community and friends in the process.
Disney is also providing support to Red Cross youth services, including youth volunteer engagement programs, and disaster services in Los Angeles; New York City; Bristol, CT; New Orleans; Orlando; and Orange County, CA.<br />

The youngster's mother, Charlene Gillingham Barber, posted photographs of the meeting on the Facebook page and wrote, "The entire interaction was like old friends having lunch.

The Fifth Annual Staples For Students School Supply Drive encouraged teens to help collect school supplies for their local classmates. From July 1 to September 15, teens have been collecting and donating pencils, notebooks and everything else school-friendly to Staples stores across the US, each of which has partnered up with local organizations to distribute these supplies to local kids who need them the most. The <a href="http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/boys-and-girls-clubs-of-america" style="color: #978100; text-decoration: none;">Boys & Girls Clubs of America</a> is the major beneficiary.</div>

Recording artist, actress, and designer Selena Gomez was appointed <span class="caps">UNICEF</span> Ambassador in September 2009.

Taylor Swift has won yet another award--an unofficial one, that is, but one of the best in her collection--the "sweetest singer around" prize. Swift showed off her heart of gold on Friday night when she debuted a new song at the Stand Up To Cancer telethon that she wrote especially for a tiny patient who lost his battle with the disease.</div>

"Ronan" is Swift's tribute to a preschool-aged boy who died from Stage 4 neuroblastoma last year. She wrote the affecting ballad with the help of Ronan's mom, Maya Thompson, who kept a blog<a href="http://rockstarronan.com/about/" style="color: #7752aa; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> </a>about her son's fight to live, as well as detailing how Swift's music helped her through the pain of losing him.</div>

It started with seven childhood friends. Now living in different cities across the country, they came together when one of their own was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of thirty-four. To show their love and support, the women each gave a gift of the heart. One made a mix tape; another, a photo collage. Holly Freeman was inspired to design a bracelet for her friends that symbolized the bond between them. Freeman, the cofounder of CJ Free Jewelry, a bead themed fine jewelry line, created a bracelet with seven 14K rose gold beads, one bead for each friend, threaded onto pink cord, the color that has long signified breast cancer awareness.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.999998092651367px; margin-bottom: 9px;">
What began as a personal pursuit to help a friend in need has since evolved into a public initiative to combat cancer and other diseases that affect millions of people. Freeman and her business partner, actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, are both longtime advocates for a variety of non-profit organizations. Using their jewelry line to further their philanthropic passions was an easy decision to make. Teaming up this summer with the American Cancer Society to promote the charity’s biggest fundraising campaign, Relay For Life, with a purple beaded bracelet.</div>

CJ Free Jewelry’s mission to fight back against cancer will continue to gain momentum. As October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the jewelry line is introducing this fall a pink-themed bracelet, thus bringing full circle Freeman’s own crusade to help those touched by breast cancer. Come December 2012, CJ Free will release a turquoise bracelet for ovarian cancer. Until each of these diseases are permanently wiped out, Freeman and Sigler will carry on in their quest to promote and support non-profit organizations that seek to raise greater cancer awareness and funds for medical research.</div>

And people will only need a squirt or two to quench their thirst.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The world's largest beverage company is introducing its Dasani Drops in coming weeks, which can be squeezed into water for some on-the-spot fruity flavor. And Coca-Cola is betting that there's big potential for growth.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">"I think there's an opportunity beyond just flavored waters," said John Roddey, vice president of Coca-Cola's water, tea and coffee business in North America.</span><br />
<div>
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Although there are no set plans yet, Roddey says the next logical category for liquid drops would be tea. That's because drinks with higher sugar content are harder to turn into a liquid concentrate.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Coca-Cola isn't the first to come out with flavor drops. The category was pioneered by Kraft Food Inc.'s MiO, which was introduced in March of last year and has quickly spawned copycats, including by supermarkets that sell store-brand versions.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The drops are popular because they come in small, portable containers that can be easily tucked into a purse or even back pocket. And unlike powdered drink packets, people can decide how much or little they want to squirt into their water. A small bottle can also have more than two dozen servings, meaning people save money they'd spend on bottled teas or enhanced waters.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">As with Kraft's MiO drinks, Dasani Drops use artificial sweeteners and have zero calories.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Now Coca-Cola is preparing to leverage its scale to stake a claim in the category. Roddey says the plan is to make Dasani Drops available wherever its Dasani bottled water is sold, including on supermarket shelves, in checkout aisles or in the refrigerated sections in convenience stores.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">"We're looking to make this as broad as we can," he said.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Dasani Drops, which will cost about $4, will start hitting shelves in early October. The company is starting with four flavors, but is already planning to introduce additional flavors next year. Each bottle has about 32 servings.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Without mentioning Kraft's MiO by name, Roddey said Coca-Cola saw the early success other brands had and realized the category had huge potential.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Kraft has said that MiO sales through the first half of the year have more than doubled to more than $100 million. The name means "mine" in Italian, suggesting users can make drinks however they like.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">For a beverage giant, however, the introduction of liquid flavor drops is more complicated. Coca-Cola says the drops will boost consumption of water, whether it's tap water or bottled. Ideally, of course, people would use the drops with its Dasani water, which already saw sales volume rise 13 percent in the first half of the year, according to industry tracker Beverage Digest.</span>

Gomez will be participating in the Global Festival, a multi-faceted event that celebrates achievements made towards eliminating extreme poverty.

“Every day, 21,000 children die from causes we can prevent,” said <span class="caps">UNICEF</span> Ambassador Selena Gomez. “I stand with <span class="caps">UNICEF</span> in believing that number should be zero. I am excited to participate in the days’ activities and hope that people will take action to help save kids’ lives.”</div>

Recording artist, actress, and designer Selena Gomez was appointed <span class="caps">UNICEF</span> Ambassador in September 2009. Since then, Gomez has played an active role in advocating for the world’s most vulnerable children by participating in numerous campaigns, events, and initiatives on behalf of the U.S. Fund for <span class="caps">UNICEF</span>. Most recently, Gomez supported UNICEF’s emergency campaign to save lives in the Sahel region of West and Central Africa where there is currently a nutrition crisis.</div>

“We are thrilled that the U.S. Fund for <span class="caps">UNICEF</span> and Selena Gomez are participating in the Global Festival. It is the young leaders, like Selena, who truly have the ability to motivate millions of people to take action and eradicate poverty within our generation,” said Hugh Evans, <span class="caps">CEO</span> The Global Poverty Project.</div>

Tay Swift is at it again. The country-pop star is dedicating a special song to a young boy, Ronan Thompson, who lost his life to neuroblastoma (cancer that develops from nerve tissue) last year.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
After reading his mother’s blog, Swift was inspired to take action. And wrote “Ronan” in honor of the 3-year-old. T-Swift is going to debut the song at Friday’s (today!) “Stand Up to Cancer” telethon. The 22-year-old also credits Ronan’s mother, Maya Thompson, as the co-writer.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Taylor definitely takes the title “Celeb Gone Good” to new levels! We <3 her.</div>

Country star <a href="http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1391-kellie-pickler" style="color: #978100; text-decoration: none;">Kellie Pickler</a> has shaved her head in support of a friend who has cancer.</div>

As revealed on ABC’s Good Morning America exclusively, Pickler and Miller shared their story as Miller was just 36 years old when she received word of her diagnosis.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.999998092651367px; margin-bottom: 9px;">
“’Cancer does not discriminate,’ an emphatic Pickler shared with viewers. ‘If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it,’ Miller echoed.</div>

“Miller, aware of her family’s history of breast cancer, had always been super cautious with her self-examinations, but had the mother of two not been diligent with her doctor and requested a mammogram, the tumor detected in its early stage could have turned fatal. Miller recently underwent a double mastectomy and will begin chemotherapy this Thursday.</div>

“A behind-the-scenes video capturing the ladies’ cuts and truthful candor about Miller’s diagnosis and treatment will be shared on Athena Water’s website, <a href="http://www.athenawater.com/" style="color: #978100; text-decoration: none;">www.athenawater.com</a>, and Athena will make a monetary donation to the <a href="http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/american-cancer-society" style="color: #978100; text-decoration: none;">American Cancer Society</a> in Miller’s honor. Additionally, Athena will contribute a minimum of $2 million to support breast cancer awareness, care, education and research by 2014."</div>
