New York, NY (November 24, 2009) – At GBK Production’s American Music Awards (AMA) Gifting Lounge, celebrities were not just receiving free give-aways, but instead they were giving back to charity. This past Friday and Saturday (November 20th & 21st) in honor of the 2009 AMA’s, Beezag (www.beezag.com) the new invite-only web site where you earn money and rewards by simply watching targeted video ads, gave every celebrity who visited GBK’s AMA Gift Lounge and registered with Beezag, $100 dollars to donate towards one of the three charities that were associated with the lounge. Okobos (www.okobos.com), Global Green (www.globalgreen.org), and Environmental Media Association (www.ema-online.org) were the three charities that each celebrity had the option to donate their first $100 after becoming a Beezag member (aka beezagger). Overall, through the help of these new celebrity beezaggers, Beezag donated a grand total of $3500 among the three eco-friendly charities.
After becoming an official beezagger, celebrities such as La Toya Jackson, Aaron Carter, Twilight star Edi Gathegi, Candace Cameron, American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, Ugly Betty's Alec Mapa, AMA nominee Anthony B., D. Woods, Weezer's Scott Shriner and more, all chose to donate their $100 to Okobos. As a result, Beezag made a generous donation of $1,500 to Okobos, the charitable foundation who's mission is to serve children in impoverished communities by creating a marketplace that generates not only awareness, but provides the basic needs of food, water, medical care, shelter, and emotional and spiritual support. Okobos strives to help children all over the world realize their potential.
