One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush Spearheads Mozilla Firefox Charity Contest for FCancer
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/22/11 -- Editors note: There are photos accompanying this release.
Mozilla Firefox has launched a holiday fundraising contest that puts several celebrity-backed charities in competition for a grand prize of $25,000. One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush is pioneering this effort for FCancer, a Vancouver-based charity dedicated to early detection education.
To drive this campaign forward, Sophia Bush is personally extending her celebrity brand power to engage with the online community and inspire them to support FCancer's cause. Her objective is twofold; she is aiming to raise funds as well as spread the word to as many potential supporters as possible.
"We're so excited to have Sophia representing us for the Mozilla Firefox Challenge," says FCancer CEO, founder and president Yael Cohen. "With her help, we hope to raise the funds we need to execute the many innovative campaigns we have planned for 2012."
Going the extra mile, Sophia is offering the media an opportunity for an online Q&A of up to ten questions regarding her involvement with the Challenge. For those who donate more than $2,500, Sophia will make a personal phone call thanking them for their generous donation. Additionally, supporters who make any type of donation will have the chance to win the following draw prizes:
Sophia has been actively involved with FCancer over the past year and is passionate about sharing FCancer's message that 90% of all cancers are curable if caught in stage one. She participated in "The Cancer Talk", a video-sharing campaign that uses humour and personal celebrity appeals to inspire communication between Generation Y and their parents on the importance of early-detection. Being that her mother is a cancer survivor who attributes her success to early-detection, Sophia is a powerful and compassionate representative of FCancer's vision. By providing awareness and education, this charity and has flipped the switch on traditional cancer campaigns by teaching people how to look for cancer instead of just finding it. We should use our own tag lines wherever possible, empowering people to search for cancer, rather than find it when it is too late.
