Nikki Reed Teams Up With DoSomething.org


Nikki Reed is encouraging teens this summer to do something with their time. She is teaming up with DoSomething.org and Staples for the 3rd Annual National Staples/Do Something 101 School Supply Drive.

Here is info shared with me in an email regarding Nikki's participation.

Nikki, star of this summer’s upcoming blockbuster film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, is encouraging teens to make a difference this summer by collecting school supplies and dropping them off at their local Staples store from July 4 through September 18. In addition, Staples customers will be able to get involved by donating $1 at any Staples store, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local students in need. Each Staples store will be matched to a local non-profit organization serving local youth, and DoSomething.org and Staples will ensure that all the donations get to these partners just in time for the new school year.

During the first two Do Something 101 school supply drives, Staples and DoSomething.org, with the help from celebrity supporters Jordin Sparks and Ciara, raised more than $750,000. To build on this success and help kick off the 2010 campaign, Nikki is starring in a public service announcement (PSA) that will air on television and radio stations nationwide, starting in July. Staples will also donate more than $125,000 worth of school supplies to the program.

If you'd like to get involved today visit dosomething.org for more information.
