In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.

Rebecca Rueschhoff and Mike Wang at SANG V

I was the youngest to ever attend SANG.  I will admit I was scared because I had no idea what to expect, so I just gave it my all.

The first person to come talk to me was Mike Wang.

If Mike wasn’t the first person to come talk to me my whole experience and mindset would have been different.

He believed in me.

He took the time to correct me and help me.

He inspired me but most of all he helped give me the courage to go up and tell my story.

He made me feel like I was just as smart as every adult in the room.

It’s amazing one conversation can change someones life.

When I met Jon Biel I didn’t know what he did and I didn’t know what to expect. But the second he said something to me I could just tell he was the most loving and caring man that I would probably ever know. Jon co-coordinated the charity night when I attended SANG and it was one of the most amazing nights I will ever get to experience. Being in a room with such giving people with such amazing energy He has done several charity projects and it is so inspiring.

My favorite thing about Jon Biel is he takes the time to listen to you and remember your name.

Justin Bieber performs a private concert at Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA on June 11, 2011.

Justin did a private meet and greet with about 120 fans before the show and gave away 2 signed Epiphone guitars. 13 super special guests had a sit-down dinner before the show and their own private time. The crowd noise was unbelievable, so much energy.

Tickets for the concert sold from $ 250 to $ 1,500 apiece. All the money raised will benefit College Track, an after-school program for high school and college students.

Justin tweeted:
“In the Bay rite now for the charity show 2NITE for COLLEGE TRACK – ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids get a higher education.”

“Great night!! Felt great to be back on stage. And for a great cause! I have the greatest fans in the world because they give back.”

“Tonight we are all just happy. Great night. We did that show for all the right reasons. 2nite my fans helped #makeachange with College Track.”

REPRINTED FROM JUSTIN BIEBER ZONE

Are Goal is to raise money for all different causes around the world and in the United States there are so many people out there that need us.

And they can’t wait, while your sleeping at night hundreds and thousands of people die because they don’t have fresh,food and/or shelter.

So as you keep putting this off because you will help out more when you are older or because you think you are too busy to take time to help make a difference….

Kids are dying they don’t even get a chance to live or dream.

My goal is to raise money for all these people and teach everyone along the way.

I want to teach people how important giving is and how much it can change your life by being a giver.

You are not too old or too young to be a giving person… There Is Not An Age Limit on Becoming A Giver.

I just want everyone to see the world the way I see it. It is broken.

How can you sleep at night knowing there are thousands and thousands of people with no bed or that they are sleeping in their own grave, because they aren’t sure they will wake up and that if they don’t… know one will even notice they are gone. Doesn’t that break your heart knowing you could be doing something – anything – but your not.

If it doesn’t then maybe this will…

There are kids out there that being captured and killed and when I say kids -  they can be as young as a couple of months old.

They never even got a chance to live.

They never got a chance to stand up for what they believe in or have an amazing dream.

With everyone’s help by giving in big and small ways – we could make a huge difference and change it all.

Ask yourself what are you risking by being a giving person?

I say, not much, so why not just take a little risk to make a huge difference.

Support this cause, or find another way to make a difference!
