Sorensen Media Group support youth

Hey ... a responsible media organization. What a novel idea. I am glad to see that there are some media organizations in the Pacific actually giving back to the communities that support them. It's important that these groups make it a point to do more for young people, as well, afterall it is these same young people who will listen, watch, and even work for these media organizations. I am also happy that many non-profit organizations were able to participate and raise funds for their individual organizations.

Here is the press release I found:
Sorensen Media Group is proud to sponsor a fundraising event coordinated by the Youth 4 Youth Live – a youth group working with the PEACE Office of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse. The event will take place on October 13, 2007 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Governor Ricardo J. Bordallo Governor's Complex at Adelup.
Youth 4 Youth Live promotes a Tobacco free, healthy, and safe lifestyle for young people. Youth Bash 2007is a back-to-school “party, bash, get-together” for the youth by the youth. There will be games, contests, food and drink sales, live youth bands, and dance groups performing on stage.
Y4Y invited all non-profit, school, youth groups and organizations to take part in this fundraiser. All the proceeds of participating groups goes to the groups. Y4Y will raise money by the $25 entry fee for the participants, a raffle drawing, and drink sales. The grand prize for the raffle is a two-hour limousine or bus cruise on Paradise Limo.
Sorensen Media Group CEO Rex Sorensen said, “As a corporate citizen, we would like to give back to the community. It is important to support the youth and provide them with the resources it takes to succeed to become productive adult members of this community.”
Lotus Media Services and Sorensen Media Group Managing Director Evan M. Cohen said, “We intend to do more events like this. We see the importance of supporting and promoting positive events for our youth and our community.”
