Entertainers 4 Education Alliance & Bragster Launch I Will Graduate Campaign
Superstars for the I Will Graduate Campaign
The Entertainers 4 Education Alliance is utilizing star power to encourage kids to make a pledge to stay in school over at Bragster.
From the press release:
"Through an awareness campaign on E4EA.org and an interactive bet on Bragster.com, Entertainers 4 Education Alliance (E4EA) and Bragster will challenge one million students to pledge to graduate from high school and pursue higher education by voting "I Will Graduate," "I Will Help A Student Graduate," or "Both," and students can leave their stories or comments on the discussion board. In addition to the bet, Bragster will donate one dollar ($1.00) for a maximum of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) for students who sign up for Bragster and participate by voting in this bet."
If it's a bet I can't participate because I don't gamble but I like the fact that they have an "I Will Help A Student Graduate" option.
Sadly, and this is on the real, the only kid I know right now that could really use my help graduating is too focused on doing time and he doesn't even know it. I keep meaning to track him down and hang out a bit so I can see that beautiful smile one more time before prison wipes it off his stupid face.
But I digress!

[Note: Catty remarks about Omarion's hairdo, people who done already graduated, Lil Mama's tendency to slump forward when she does these video shoutouts and the fact that the previous contest on this YouTube channel was for a World Record Cigarette Smoking Competition have been removed cause it would be wrong to leave that stuff in.]
