Hi Carla,
I'm working with Virgin Mobile USA, to spread the word about the RE*Generation Charm Contest – a contest that is raising awareness for homeless and abused kids.
I am reaching out to you because I thought your site would reach a lot of people that are interested in art & design. I'm hoping you can us help get the word out on your art-blog website though a short blurb or banner.
We don't have a lot of time left – the contest ends in 9 days (on 7/20) so anyway you can help out would be very much appreciated!
Here's a little more information about the contest:
THE GOAL
To Raise Awareness for the RE*Generation Movement by Getting as Many People to Enter the Contest as Possible
ENTRY PAGE:
CONTEST:
Design a cell phone charm; enter it into the contest.
WHY IT'S GOOD TO GET INVOLVED:
The RE*Generation is a movement to help young people living on the fringes through partnering with innovative non-profit organizations.
The movement looks to help those living on the streets, in abusive situations, and individuals who simply don't have a voice in mainstream society.
PRIZES:
1 Grand Prize winner (+guest) receives a trip to Africa and their charm produced by Virgin Mobile.
4 First Runners Up receive a trip to New Orleans.

BACKGROUND:
Virgin Mobile USA, Stand Up for Kids, and Youth Noise have teamed up to start the RE*Generation Movement to raise awareness for homeless and abused kids. To get teens involved, these companies launched the RE*Generation Charm Contest located at http://www.youthnoise.com/virginmobileusa/contest.html. Teens & young people are asked to design a cell phone charm and enter it in to be judged by a rock star panel (including Bloc Party, Jewel, and others).
Please let me know if you can help out – there isn't too much time left...
