News has hit the community that there has been fraudulent activity affecting our Local Music Scene, as well as other aspects of our community. On July 31 2010 news had been announced that our once beloved, by many, Change 4 A Cure was nothing more than a fraudulent operation.
I, as an individual trying to build a reliable not-for-profit organization from the ground up single handedly, am deeply effected by the news. Did Ashley Anne Kirilow have a great public relations man? I do not understand how this …

This week with all the hype of Travie McCoy’s new album Lazarus (Read Our Review Here) having just come out a few weeks ago (June 8th), I will honour his homage to his MTV STAYING ALIVE FOUNDATION: Unbeaten Track life changing adventure.
This adventure sent Travie through South Africa, Philippines and India, to meet with young people who are running remarkable grass-roots HIV and AIDS awareness projects – all of which are supported by the Staying Alive Foundation – MTV’s AIDS charity.
For it’s involvement in projects such as The Unbeaten Track, and idealistic …

With the launch of the monthly campaigns comes the launch of the YouTube Video series. These videos will be based off of updates from the campaigns, random little fun updates, a simple hello to all the viewers, and be updated every so often. There is no specific time line for the videos, so just follow along when ever you want. All videos will be posted to the site, so you can see them!
The first installment is a introduction to the idea of Promos4awareness Monthly Campaigns, and a introduction to the …

With the website stable enough and now with a steady course of readers I will on a mission to do a monthly campaign on the behalf of Promos4Awaerness. I will officially be starting monthly campaigns as of JUNE 1st through the website, in order to generate some interest, and get the name out and public even more. These campaigns can be anything from a bike ride from Ajax to Toronto, to vegetarian for a month. Here’s the kicker, THE PUBLIC gets to chose my campaigns.
The public to this day have …

This week’s not for profit of the week focuses on something EVERYONE READING THIS ARTICLE IS CURRENTLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF and not even realizing.  Electricity. Every one of us are currently using something electronic to power the device we are reading this post with, and we sometimes take that for granted and don’t remember that not everyone is as fortunate as we are.
I, myself, work in a building where I use TWO computers all day, in order to do my job. It can easily be done on one simple computer, …

My friend Conz and I came together and kicked it with a quick photo shoot. She has been really cool with me and quite supportive of Promos4awareness and I thought I would thank her with a photo shoot. It was a nice way to get her involved in the community.  She is a absolute sweetheart and I see myself shooting with her fairly often when the opportunity arises. While she is a great supporter of Promos4awareness she is also very very fun to shoot with and very fun to be …

It’s another week and it’s time to feature a not-for-profit for you guys to howl over and get your knowledge brushed up on!
This week I had no research to do what so ever. This not-for-profit is close and dear to me. I have been following this organization for a few years and am always amazed by the amazing work that comes out of Skate4cancer.
Skate4cancer is a Cancer Prevention Awareness organization and campaign which educates the masses. Through knowledge and education youth can be made aware of the ongoing battle with …

Another week another not-for-profit to feature!
This week I am going back to the roots and finding a really original and interesting website to feature. I crossed paths with a really interesting website and will be checking out ALL of it’s content when I have a few minutes to sit around and look through it thoroughly.
This week’s featured website is called The Global Oneness Project which is a collective library of people across the world through the power of video.  The team of Global Oneness Project have  been traveling the globe gathering stories …

Paramore Fans Rejoice! There is now a Paramore Book. Although it’s an unofficial and unauthorisedbook printed by Independent Music Press in the UK, but still.
Available in stores now, it’s the first and only biography on the Tennessee five-piece, who are arguably one of music’s biggest new rock acts. This unofficial and unauthorised book is the first to tell their story and details the early years, their explosive debut record, the strident, platinum-selling follow-up ‘Riot!’ and their new-found status as the next major rock act in the world.
