Celebrities To Take Part In Charity Relay For Life

Hollywood celebrities and residents will walk around the clock this Saturday, July 30, to battle cancer at the American Cancer Society's second annual Relay For Life of Hollywood.

Local elected officials will be present at this life-changing event to raise funds to support free services for local cancer patients and their families. Funds also support the Society’s critical cancer research, community early detection and prevention education programs and advocacy efforts.

The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is a life-changing, family-oriented community event that celebrates the lives of those who have battled cancer, remembers loved ones lost, and empowers individuals and communities to fight back against a disease that affects so many.

Armed with tents and sleeping bags, team members will gather at Helen Bernstein High School on Saturday, July 30, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. for an overnight campout against cancer. After soliciting pledges from friends, family, neighbors and colleagues, participants take turns walking or running around the track, join fun activities off the track, and share their experiences of courage, hope, and inspiration with each other. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events to pay homage to all the courageous people affected by cancer.

The event begins with survivors walking the Survivors Lap together in purple Relay shirts affirming the courage of those who have faced cancer and won. At sundown the Luminaria Ceremony honors and memorializes those who are still fighting cancer or have list their battle with decorated luminaria bags illuminating track into the night, lighting a path of hope. The event closes the next morning with the upbeat Fight Back Ceremony, reminding us that we have the power to change the course of this disease.

In 2010, more than three million walkers, including more than 600,000 cancer survivors, participated in 5,150 Relay events nationwide and in 19 other countries. In California alone, the Relay raised nearly $26,401 million raised for cancer research, education, services and advocacy.

Demi Lovato To Perform At Do Something Charity Awards

DoSomething.org and VH1 have announced that Demi Lovato, Foster the People and OneRepublic with B.o.B will perform as part of the celebrity charity 2011 Do Something Awards.

Hosted by Glee star Jane Lynch, the ceremony will honor and celebrate the nation’s best young world-changers who represent the pivotal “do-ers” in their field, cause or issue. Celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Prince William and Duchess Catherine, David Beckham, Scarlett Johansson, Russell Brand and Will Ferrell have been nominated in a variety of categories from ‘Do Something Movie Star’ to ‘Do Something Couple’ for all they have done to inspire young people. Many will be on hand to accept and present the awards at the show which will air Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 9:00pm EST on VH1.

The show will mark the first time Demi Lovato will perform her hit single “Skyscraper” live. Her fans played a big part in making this performance happen by enthusiastically tweeting the word “Skyscraper” to @DoSomething multiple times over the last month. Lovato is also nominated for two awards in the Do Something Charity Song and Do Something TV Star categories.

“If you are expecting anything less than ‘wow,’ you’ve got the wrong award show. We are so psyched to have Demi’s first public performance, a hot break-out band like Foster the People, and expect OneRepublic with B.o.B to be very loud!” said Nancy Lublin, CEO and Chief Old Person of DoSomething.org.

“This year’s show will feature some of the hottest musicians performing the summers’ biggest hits in celebration of these amazing young people’s accomplishments.” added Tom Calderone, President, VH1.

In addition to honoring celebrities for their work to inspire others, and a night filled with great musical performances, one young “do-er” (age 25 and under) will receive a grand prize of $100,000 for their cause. This is the largest and most prestigious prize in the world for young people and social change.

The five nominees this year have all gone above and beyond to make a difference in their communities and will be rewarded with a community grant and continued support from DoSomething.org. Nominees include Taryn Guerrero Davis for The American Widow Project, David Schwartz for The Real Food Challenge, Sarah Cronk for The Sparkle Effect, Mark Kabban for YALLA (Youth And Leaders Living Actively) and Adam Lowy for Move for Hunger.

Since 2007, the Do Something Awards have continued their mission of inspiring, supporting and celebrating a generation of doers. Last year marked the first time the show aired live from Los Angeles on VH1 (it was previously featured in the 2008-2009 Teen Choice Awards). Hosted by Glee’s Jane Lynch, the 2010 Do Something Awards featured performances by Travie McCoy & Bruno Mars, Lifehouse, Natasha Bedingfield, and Jane herself. In addition to the signature Do Something Award, the show honored celebrities like the Jonas Brothers, Kathy Griffin, Kellan Lutz, and Snoop Dogg for their dedication to doing good. Megan Fox participated in the show by introducing one of the five ‘Do Something Award’ nominees.
