New Big Brothers Big Sisters Campaign Calls for More Men to Mentor
PHILADELPHIA, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Brothers Big Sisters is launching Phase II of its Campaign for Men to recruit more male mentors in communities across the United States.

Funded in part by a generous grant from the Arby's Foundation and introduced last year, the campaign is aimed at attracting more male volunteers, particularly African-American and Hispanic men. More than 70 percent of the children waiting for mentors are boys, but only three out of every 10 inquiries about volunteering come from men.
Phase II of the campaign launches this month and will provide Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across the country with general and targeted marketing materials to recruit African-American, Hispanic and Asian men. Among the materials are web, print and bus shelter ads and other outdoor media to run in their local markets. Agencies will also receive "100 Men in 100 Days" recruitment kits, developed and implemented successfully last year by Big Brothers Big Sisters' Detroit agency.
In addition, Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies will receive African- American male recruiting videos. While more than a third of the Little Brothers served by the Big Brothers Big Sisters network are African-American, only 15 percent of the nonprofit organization's male mentors are.
Last month, syndicated sports radio personalities, The 2 Live Stews joined the effort with a campaign called, Mentoring Brothers. Doug and Ryan Stewart, biological brothers who are also mentors with Big Brothers Big Sisters, urge their listeners to join the movement at MentoringBrothers.org, a micro site established as part of the Campaign for Men. The Stews also enlisted the support of their sports and urban media buddies, including syndicated radio personality, Tom Joyner, to use the airwaves and websites to help spread the word about the need for African-American men to become mentors. Also, as part of a longtime partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, the historically African-American Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity continues to host barbershop and other community recruitment drives.
"We are pleased that our grant initiative supports a program that is having a powerful impact on America's youth," said Greg Hawkins, Senior Vice President of Community Partnerships, Arby's Restaurant Group, Inc. "With the introduction of the campaign last year, Big Brothers Big Sisters has begun to see a significant increase in the number of male volunteers in general. This year, with grassroots buzz generated by The 2 Live Stews and other urban radio personalities, we are seeing increased interest among African-American men. We expect the new tools for Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies will help immeasurably."
The 260,000 Children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters are among America's most vulnerable - those who live in poverty, single-parent homes or households where a parent is incarcerated. Independent research finds having a Big Brother or Big Sister improves a child's odds for succeeding educationally and socially and breaking negative cycles.
About the Arby's Foundation
The Arby's Foundation, Inc., a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation, is grounded in the belief that every individual has the power to make a difference. Since its inception in 1986, the Arby's Foundation has provided more than $27 million through Arby's Charity Tour events, in-store fundraising, community events and grant programs to support youth education and mentoring initiatives. In 2008 the Arby's Foundation and it's local operators raised over $5 million for over 400 local BBBS agencies, and for two consecutive years awarded over $800,000 in grants to support Big Brothers Big Sisters' "Campaign for Men," an initiative to assist the organization in reaching its goal of recruiting more male mentors.

Rising Hip-Hop Star Stunts New Hit Single on iTunes
ATLANTA, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- For the past decade, Hip-Hop music has made a huge impact on today's society. Acts such as Eminem, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent to Akon, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, and Ludacris have made a huge contribution to the culture. However as CD sales continue to decline and fans are losing faith in so much as most of them would consider hip-hop dead. When will new talents like Jay-Z come from the ashes and provide a unique style of the culture?
Look no further as Cameron "The Real Camilly" White has become a master in this ability. Born in Jacksonville, Florida and raised in many others including Memphis, Tennessee, Camilly has not only learned how to adjust to physical environments, but also how to develop as an aspiring hip-hop musician. With a quick tongue and fiery delivery, his uniqueness has aptly been dubbed "Wyld Style".
He's often been compared to Twista or Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, but as his name suggests, Camilly is able to switch to slower patterns similar to those of Kanye West and Snoop Dogg. The power to exhibit multiple dimensions has earned Camilly thousands of loyal fans from California to New York and even overseas. With help from the internet, he's been able to reach listeners all over the world. "I'm not even known on a major level yet," he says proudly, "but because of MySpace, I have people telling me that I'm their favorite rapper. Having support from fans like that is the greatest thing that's happened so far."
Camilly is releasing his first debut single 'She Can Get It' on iTunes and other services through social media distributor WaTunes.com. The single, which is already getting huge critical acclaim from DJs and radio stations from around the world as well as support from major acts such as DJ Khaled, Akon, and T-Pain is his answer to bringing a new style of music in the Hip-Hop culture. Look to see his single available at your favorite music store March 17th.
About The Real Camilly
Early in his life, Camilly discovered he was attracted to music with a purpose. Inspired by the intricacy of classical melodies, he learned to play piano at the age of nine. This would become the foundation for his production efforts. Cam says, "When I was about twelve years old, I had no producers and I got so mad at how bad people were doing beats so I just taught myself how to do it. I started using little programs from the internet and I got good at it." Cam's involvement in spoken word poetry, coupled with his keen ear for instrumentals, eventually evolved into something extraordinary.

Over the last fifteen years, a new trend in relationships has emerged linked to increasing stress. Both couples and singles believe they are too busy or too exhausted to resolve their relationship issues, and often think their partners are either too demanding or just too different to understand. Attempting to cope with the increasing stress of working for a living, both men and women feel neglected at home. While some couples experience increasing tension, others have just given up, sweeping their emotional needs under the carpet. They may get along, but the passion is gone.
John Gray, PhD, the best selling relationship author of all time - is the author of 16 best-selling books including Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: one of the best-selling books of the last decade. In the past fifteen years, over 40 million Mars Venus books have been sold in over 45 languages throughout the world. An expert in the field of communication, John Gray's focus is to help men and women understand, respect and appreciate their differences in both personal and professional relationships. In his many books, CD's, DVD's, tapes, workshops and seminars, he provides practical tools and insights to effectively manage stress and improve relationships at all stages and ages by creating the brain chemistry of health, happiness and lasting romance. His latest book, Why Mars & Venus Collide - which recently reached the Amazon top one hundred - reveals how men and women can improve relationships by understanding how they cope differently with stress. John Gray has appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, CBS Morning Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, The View, Politically Incorrect, Larry King and others.

ABC Radio Networks Statement on the Passing of Paul Harvey
DALLAS, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is a statement from Jim Robinson, President of ABC Radio Networks, on the passing of Paul Harvey:
Paul Harvey was one of the most gifted and beloved broadcasters in our nation's history.

We will miss our dear friend tremendously and are grateful for the many years we were so fortunate to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are now with his son Paul Jr. and the rest of the Harvey family.
