FAME and the AMC Cinema chain will sponsor several “Bully Movie Events” across the country, with selected theaters offering free admission to a one-night “Bully” awareness event – with the continued goal of involving parents, students, educators, and advocates in the movement to ending bullying.

In addition, with every “Bully” ticket purchased through www.MovieTickets.com FAME will provide a free download of its book “Kid2Kid, Keepin’ it Safe Online” (ISBN: 978-0-675-50025-6) made available for the NOOK and Kindle eBook formats. “Kid2Kid” includes great advice for young people about staying safe online, and includes a chapter about preventing bullying in cyberspace and in everyday life.

“We are happy to join The Weinstein Company’s ‘Bully’ campaign to help raise awareness about the serious effects of bullying. We hope to help inspire kids from around the world to stand up to bullying,” said Zachary Swauger, age 13, FAME co-founder.

“This has always been a mission of the Jackie Fame network,” added Joshua Swauger 11, FAME co-founder. “In 2011, we launched ‘We Have the Power’ at www.WeHaveThePower.net – a grass roots awareness movement about the terrible effects of bullying on school-aged kids. We recorded an original song, produced by DJ Boom and Hip-Hop recording artist G-Money. We wrote the lyrics to express how deeply concerned we are about bullying and its effect on our peers.”

The FAME co-founders hope all school-aged kids and their parents will see “Bully” and join together in the fight to stop all forms of bullying.

Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, “Bully” is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America’s bullying crisis. “Bully” follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus.

The Weinstein Company (TWC) is a multimedia production and distribution company launched in October 2005 by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the brothers who founded Miramax Films in 1979.

Jackie Fame is an investment capital funded, Charlotte and Los Angeles based company; founded by kid entrepreneurs Zachary Swauger (age 13) and Joshua Swauger (age 10), launched its initial Jackie Fame(R) Network in January of 2011. After the positive response and tremendous membership growth, the brothers put a halt on growth initiatives while focusing on enhanced development efforts of its platform. With continued feedback for improvements from the FAME Kid Advisors, the brothers developed FAME 2.0 – a custom, feature rich, with a scalable network, infrastructure. Also, not surprisingly, Jackie Fame offers an interactive Android and iPhone mobile app available to download for free on over 2,500 wireless devices – FAME Mobile.

In 2011, the Swauger brothers also penned their first book in the “Kid2Kid Book Series” titled “Kid2Kid, Keepin’ It Safe Online” (ISBN: 9780615500256). This fun to read book about internet safety, which includes a chapter on anti-bullying, is now available at book stores, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and public libraries.

“What we set out to do was build an awesome place on the web for kids to communicate, share and create new friendships, continue to develop our brandFAME and its superior lines of quality products, provide financial opportunity for our investor team, and prove to the admission officers at Stanford University that we have what it takes to be a Cardinal – in about 5 years,” said Joshua Swauger.

“FAME 2.0 is epic!” added Zachary Swauger. “Unlike many other social networks for kids and teens, with Jackie Fame there is no charge to be a member, no advertising in-your-face messages, and our members have the choice to be as private or as public as they want to on their page.” Initially, the system defaults to full privacy for all members to provide instant protection. “After that, it’s their choice who they friend,” added Zachary. In addition, users’ data and content is not sold to brands, advertisers, etc. “We ARE ‘the brand’ and with our merchant partners engaged with the FAME members via our FAME50 platform, coming soon – it’s really awesome.”

Jackie Fame’s BrandFAME will initially launch with the FAMEbody “body treats” personal care line and FAMEnails, the companies nail polish line, due to be in national retail store locations by Q4 2012. BrandFAME, the company’s apparel line is expected in stores by Q1 2013. All lines and been developed, branded, quality tested, and are now in the pre-sale process.

Virginia Weiseth-Miller teaches elementary school in northern California. She’s experienced her share of trials over the years, including the loss of nearly everything she owned. As she rebuilt her life, she became aware of others in similar circumstances and wanted to do something to help. With the assistance of her son, Jamison Miller, she has come up with a website to help people with something to give connect with those who need it. That website is Egiva.com.

The idea behind the free site is simple: recycle what you don’t want any more to someone who needs it rather than putting it in a landfill. With that goal in mind, Virginia and Jamison built a site to let people search by location, by category or by group. Only free items can be offered on the site. It is “collaborative giving,” not selling. Every item shared on Egiva is an item getting a second chance at usefulness.

A new user registers on Egiva with basic information: user name, email and location. The user can then post offerings or search for needed items by category. All information entered on Egiva is confidential

To date, Weiseth-Miller has supported development of the entire enterprise, but she’s reached the end of her financial resources. In order to take Egiva to the next level, she and her son have applied to Kickstarter.com, the Internet-based funding company. Weiseth-Miller is working against a deadline: she only has until August 26 to collect $10,000 in pledges through Kickstarter or else Egiva gets nothing.

So she’s getting out the word: emails, phone calls and social networking sites are among the tools she’s employing to work toward the goal. Her dream rests in the balance.

Donations through Kickstarter are only funded if the total goal is pledged. Amounts pledged start at $1.00; higher amounts earn benefits within the Egiva program, such as free smart phone applications or help establishing a giving group for family, friends, or organizations.

Please visit the Kickstarter site and learn more about Egiva. Your support can help not only a dream come true but help many people during tough economic times in our own communities find things they need.
