Ray Rice fights to stop bullying...please help if you can

Ray of Hope
“Since starting my pro-kindness, anti-bullying campaign earlier this year, I have received thousands of emails from kids who have been bullied. I have also received many who have told me that this message of hope assures them that they are not alone. The content of many of the emails have been overwhelming,” says Rice. “Overwhelmingly sad, positive, and just plain scary. I just want kids to know they are not alone in this world. I want kids to know it’s okay to be who they are. I want to help them learn compassion for one another.”
Teen Truth Live, an award winning program, is an interactive, multi-media assembly experience that combines motivational presentations with a 22-minute film that was created by students. The award winning film, TEEN TRUTH: BULLY & SCHOOL VIOLENCE, focuses on social issues that can lead to serious consequences while the presentation challenges students to think about how their reactions to these issues impact the lives of those around them. Using storytelling, humor, real world examples and audience participation, TEEN TRUTH LIVE: BULLY & SCHOOL VIOLENCE teaches students to identify the different forms of bullying, understand how bullying can lead to serious consequences, and motivate students to stop bullying from happening in their school.
The event is free and open to the public. No tickets are required for entry but event organizers are asking that people wishing to attend RSVP via Ray’s website at www.RayRice27.com so appropriate accommodations for the correct number of people may be made. Please make sure you RSVP for the event in order to attend as capacity is limited. The event is open to all children and adults; however, the program contains content that may not be suitable for all viewers and parental discretion is strongly advised for children under 13. Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for admittance to the event.
Doors will open at 6pm. There will be music and entertainment prior to the program. There will be many community oriented vendor booths to visit. The program begins at 7pm and is expected to last 1.5 hours. Directions to Merriweather can be found online at www.merriweathermusic.com.

Maybe they want to provide a little shock treatment to emphasize the unnecessary violence and they are worried that it may be a little strong for youngsters. Thanks for the support! :slaphead:

Thanks for sharing, Tony. It's a worthy cause.

Deleted all the off topic nonsense and noise since it was turning into commentary on bullying and not the charity itself.
Carry on ....

quit lying, you deleted mine because you like using your mod position to bully people that you don't like, and Tony is afraid of you for some reason, so he let's you get away with it...The first post I put up in months because of the last time you bullied my Easter post, and you quickly delete it....Real American you are !!!!..
Better hurry and delete this before someone see the truth, and reports it to Ray Rice...
