DEATH to Cyber Bullying School Tour

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 28, 2011

Studio 109 kicks off its National DEATH to Cyber Bullying Tour on October 28, 2011 at The Angelo Patri Middle School. School Number: 391. Address: 2225 WEBSTER AVENUE BRONX, NY10457. Phone: 718-584-1295.

Baby Triggy, a teenage YouTube sensation, will be visiting to raise awareness about the harmful effects of Cyber Bullying.

According to Tracy Smith, correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning, as many as 160,000 students stay home on any given day because they're afraid of bullies, this is a huge problem for American kids. It's estimated that since 1983, there've been more than 150 documented cases of young people committing suicide after being bullied. The Obama administration is aware of this national crisis and it is time to put an end to the bullying.

Baby Triggy, who featured, produced and co-wrote My Jeans music video has received over 14 million views in less than 8 months, is no stranger to Cyber Bullying. As a young person who has received media attention during his blossoming career, Baby Triggy has learned that not all fans can be friendly. Baby Triggy has found himself the victim of Cyber Bullying on a few occasions and has already assisted other victims who have been Cyber Bullied. The message is clear and the time is now, we must put an end to the Bullying.

Baby Triggy along with his management company, True Story Management. LLC, will be touring from state to state, talking with elementary and middle school - aged children in an attempt to educate the students on the harmful effects of Cyber Bullying. The goal is encourage the students to take a stand against the bullies and also to let them know they have people they can trust to contact. The prelude to Baby Triggys visit to the schools is a fundraiser in which 20% of proceeds go towards the awareness of Cyber Bullying.

In addition to speaking with the students at the schools, Baby Triggy will perform one his hit songs during the DEATH to Cyber Bullying presentation. Baby Triggy has proven his ability to identify with young students and being that he is a peer, the children listen during his influential speech.

Being bullied over the Internet is hard for anyone to deal with. It's tormenting and leaves the victim feeling helpless, stated Curtis L. Anderson, Father and President of True Story Management. LLC. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can KILL. Kids today are committing suicide and hurting each other over Cyber Bullying, we need to do something.

Cyber Bullying is the use of the Internet and related technologies to harm other people, in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner. As it has become more common in society, particularly among young people, legislation and awareness campaigns have arisen to combat it.

In most cases, these damaging statements are published on the Internet and may never be removed. These statements are detrimental to children and the Bullying often times will carry from the Internet to the school hallways. The DEATH to Cyber Bullying campaign will be speaking to the websites, to hold the sites more accountable for the content on their site and protecting the victims of Cyber Bullying. In most cases, the bully and the person bullied are both victims of Cyber Bullying.

Many States have penalties for the kids who are Cyber Bullying, which range from school/parent interventions to misdemeanors and felonies with detention, suspension, and expulsion in between. Some of these laws promote Internet safety education or curriculum that include Cyber Bullying.

Cycling Circus Tour De Fat Rolls Into Durango: New Belgium Brewing Hits the Road With its Annual Ballyhoo of Bikes and Beer

Fort Collins, CO (PRWEB) August 23, 2006

Grab your cruiser bike and slip into your alter-ego - New Belgiums philanthropic cycling circus, Tour de Fat, is hitting the road for its sixth season! The roadshow series makes its stop in Durango on Saturday, September 16, 2006. The Tour will hit an additional ten cities slated across the West throughout the summer while the entire crew travels on B100 biodiesel fuel.

The Tour de Fat brings together bike enthusiasts and bon vivants of every stripe in an all-out ballyhoo of bikes and beer. Costumes and decorated bikes are the rule as the participants come for a bike parade, good music and entertainment, then stay for the beer.

Amid the hoopla, Tour de Fat also raises money for local charities. It's free to come and play, but if you buy a shirt or beer, all proceeds will go to the San Juan Mountains Association (SJMA). SJMA is a non-profit organization created in 1989 to promote responsible care of natural and cultural resources through education and hands-on involvement. They provide educational programs, publications, interpretive services and volunteer programs/projects.

The money raised by Tour de Fat supports the continued work we do in southwest Colorado and allows us greater opportunity to expand our outreach and strengthen our programs, said Gabi Morey, Director of Education and Outreach of SJMA. We want our community and visitors alike to experience and enjoy our natural surroundings and walk away with a greater respect and reverence for our lands and the environment.

Last year, the Durango Tour de Fat attracted more than 1,500 Fat Tire Fanatics and FUNdraised $ 5,000 for the San Juan Mountains Association. In addition, the Fort Lewis Environmental Center helped the Tour divert more than 85% of the total trash from the landfills and also raised $ 500.

Tour de Fat is a hair-raising, high-flying, death-defying show of incredible bike silliness and skill, said Chris Winn, Event Evangelist. You come out to the park, hang out with your friends, ride bikes and drink a little beer. At the end of the day, youve done your community some good just by having fun.

Cycling Circus Tour De Fat Rolls Into Tempe: New Belgium Brewing Hits the Road with its Annual Ballyhoo of Bikes and Beer

Fort Collins, Colorado (PRWEB) September 6, 2006

Grab your cruiser bike and slip into your alter-ego because New Belgiums philanthropic cycling circus Tour de Fat has hit the road for its seventh season. The roadshow series makes its stop in Tempe on Saturday, October 21, 2006. After an extremely successful event last year, Tour De Fat chose Tempe once again as the finale of an eleven-city adventure.

Tour de Fat brings together bike enthusiasts and bon vivants of every stripe in an all-out ballyhoo of bikes and beer. Costumes and decorated bikes are the rule as the participants come for a casual ride, good music and entertainment, then stay for the beer.

Amid the hoopla, Tour de Fat also raises money for local charities. The Tempe event is a FUNdraiser for the Mountain Biking Association of Arizona and the Tempe Bicycle Action Group. Last year, the majority of the funds raised went to the MBAAs trail construction and maintenance program.

Another $ 500 went to TBAG, an organization dedicated to making bicycling safer and more prominent in Tempe and surrounding areas. The funds allowed the organization to encourage safe riding through the bike lights program and other awareness campaigns.

The primary use of the funds has been in trail work. MBAA got a majority of the money, and we put almost all of it into development of the Black Canyon Trail System, said Scott Nowicki, Chairman of the MBAA Board and Lead Organizer for TBAG. This is the best opportunity we've had for years. We're putting beer money into making a great trail system that will allow people to enjoy some backcountry parts of Arizona that are almost impossible to access. We truly appreciate all that New Belgium has been doing.

Tour de Fats goal is to recycle and divert as much waste as possible at the event. Even the bands play from a solar-powered stage and the entire crew travels on B100 biodiesel fuel. Last year, participants helped keep 60% of the total trash out of the local landfills by composting the used beer cups and paper plates and recycling plastic water bottles and soda bottles.

Tour de Fat is a hair-raising, high-flying, death-defying show of incredible bike silliness and skill, said Chris Winn, Event Evangelist. You come out to the park, hang out with your friends, ride bikes and drink a little beer. At the end of the day, youve done your community some good just by having fun.

Bike Fort Collins is a local organization whose mission is to foster a bicycle-friendly culture and transportation system in Fort Collins through education and encouragement.

We wouldnt be able to exist and do all of the wonderful things we are doing without the support of New Belgium and the Tour de Fat, said Barb Allan, Director of Diamond Peaks Mountain Bike Patrol. We are truly lucky to work with them and look forward to another successful, eventful year.

Last year, the Fort Collins Tour de Fat attracted more than 1,200 Fat Tire Fanatics in the bike ride alone, the biggest parade in Tour de Fats history. The Tour FUNdraised $ 16,000 for Diamond Peaks Bike Patrol. In addition, Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living helped the Tour divert more than 75% of the total trash from the landfills.
