The Hurricane Sandy Project Press Release



I created The Hurricane Sandy Project to raise money  for victims of  Hurricane Sandy. I hope to achieve this by reaching out and promoting awareness. We are letting people know that even if they are not directly affected by this tragedy, natural disasters do not discriminate and they are not  isolated incidents. Natural disasters are a global issue. Tragedies like these can happen anywhere, at any time, and can happen to anyone. You can never truly be prepared.

I reached out to several of my friends on Twitter,  along with celebrities from the music and entertainment industry, to make a Public Service Announcement video in support of the cause. The PSA video will be utilizing a script that I created for The Hurricane Sandy Project Campaign asking people to donate to a charity for those suffering from Sandy's devastation.We decided to promote The Red Cross as our campaign platform with the PSA. We believe The Red Cross are leaders when it comes to disaster relief as well as a time honored and trusted organization. Through the PSA and promotion we will be linking the official Red Cross page: www.redcross.org/charitable-donations  so viewers can be directed there  to the help people affected by Superstorm Sandy.

" Natural disasters do not discriminate, they can happen anywhere. By helping someone today you could be  helping yourself tomorrow. Please make a difference and donate to The Red Cross now "



The Hurricane Sandy Project Campaign will  strategize different ways to raise money for the cause. What started as a seed of an idea, Sunday November 5,2012,  has now grown and is coming to fruition...we have many great names and talents involved!
