Columbus, Ohio Give Back

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

"Supplied 4 Success" is Gearing Up For Their 1st Annual School Supply Giveaway

Columbus, Ohio- July 2009- "Supplied 4 Success" is a not-for-profit school supply drive and giveaway created to benefit school-aged children of need that are primarily located in the Franklin County area. Organized and presented by ColumbusUrbanLife.com, Repertoire PR & Marketing Collective, and The Promise Foundation, "Supplied 4 Success" will take 100% of the monetary and supply donations received from local business owners, organizations, and individuals in order to distribute bookbags filled with the basic essentials that the children will need to begin a successful school-year.

The "Supplied 4 Success" school supply giveaway will take place during the weekend of August 22 at a designated location in the community that is easily accessible by COTA, has ample FREE parking, and is also in close walking proximity to communities that are the most in need of assistance. In addition to handing out school supplies, we will have vendors on hand supplying snacks and beverages, a live dj providing age-appropriate music, volunteers to help keep the event organized, and local celebrities, athletes, and community leaders in attendance to shake hands, take photos and speak with the kids to get them motivated for the up-coming school year.

The organizers of "Supplied 4 Success" recognized that there is a great need in the community for the children to have the basic essentials needed to succeed in the classroom starting Day One of the 2009-2010 school year. With the economy still suffering, parents and teachers are stretching their resources to the max just to provide children with the educational and life necessities they need to compete with those students and schools that receive more funding. We wanted to do our part to make sure that every child*, ( *first come, first served while supplies last ) is equipped with the tools they need to start school with a "come to learn, equipped to succeed" attitude.

If you would like more information on how to become a sponsor, how and where to donate monetary or school supplies, a list of the supplies needed, and/or how to register as a volunteer, please contact Supplied4Success@gmail.com .

The Ohio Hip Award "Cheating" Rules

We would like to thank everyone who participates in the Ohio Hip Hop Awards process. People across the state are submitting nominations every day for their favorite artists!

This is a great opportunity for everyone. The awards show is something that everyone wants to participate in and be a part of. Artists are campaigning through their music as well as through promotions. The nomination process is designed to let the people of the state to voice their opinion on who they think should be casted on the final ballot.

One thing we have noticed and have kept track of was the cheaters. This process is very important to a lot of people, and we cannot allow for invalid repeat nominations to tarnish that process. This form of "mass nominating" seems to be a concept used every year by a variety of people.

There are no rules against this, however, it is very easy to detect, and in no way gives you an advantage in the process. The online process is set up so that these mass nominations only flood our system, they do not in any way corrupt our calculations.

Please stop nominating yourself more than once. Its fairly obvious who is doing it by the nature of your nominations. (as well as the repetitions of your IP Addresses.)

We would just like everyone to know this.

Searchable on iTunes

The other day as I was going into organized my songs on my ipod and podcast, I searched for my podcast and there we were. You can type in any of the artist including myself and you will pull up our podcast. As I move into the summer there will be more than just music on their, that includes my pod and my featured artist, so please subscibe and look out for what we'll be doing next.
