One.org Teams up with American Idol

My wife and I, along with Cafe Evoke, do what we can to be a part of One.org. We feel the group is chasing after something important and that we all need to do what we can to help. I received the below email this morning and I wanted to pass it along: Tonight and tomorrow, one in ten Americans will sit down in their living rooms and tune-in to American Idol for a special episode called "Idol Gives Back." We are excited to announce that Bono will be making an appearance Wednesday night on behalf of ONE urging the millions of Americans watching the show to join us in the fight against extreme poverty. Bono will meet with the Idol contestants to talk with them about ONE and the difference your advocacy is making in the lives of the world's poorest people. The Idol contestants will also perform "American Prayer," a song written by Bono and Dave Stewart about the AIDS emergency in Africa. Wednesday night's show will be a two-hour special hosted by Ellen and featuring appearances by Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, Earth, Wind & Fire, Il Divo, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Josh Groban with the African Children's Choir, Jack Black, Helen Mirren, Rascal Flatts, Quincy Jones, Carrie Underwood, Annie Lennox and many more. We are excited about what the next two days could mean for the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. Because of your continued support and involvement, extreme poverty is getting the national attention it so badly needs. When millions of people come together as ONE voice, anything is possible. I'm sure many of you will be watching anyway but this is just another reason why. In fact, call your friends, order some pizzas or light up the grill, and make a party out of it! Why not get together and watch it together since you everyone will be watching it anyway. You can then head on over to One.org and get more information about the group and how to get invovled. You can sign up for the newsletter and for other great stuff. Have a good time tonight. ...be bold Tagged: cafe evoke, coffee catering, coffee, espresso, tea, bozeman, montana, one.org, americanidol The Global Exchange Fair Trade Store is your Online Source for Socially Conscious Gifts
