Maybe you’re a fan of Lost, or Alias or Fringe. Or perhaps ridiculously good-looking actors. Chances are, you’ll soon be hooked on the latest JJ Abrams prime time drama, Undercovers. NBC is proud as a peacock for this new show slated for Fall and we at MobileGive are equally proud of star Boris Kodjoe and wife Nicole Ari Parker for using their influence and their love for their daughter, Sophie, to do something wonderful.

Their nonprofit organization (Sophie’s Voice Foundation) was founded in 2008 in honor of their daughter who was diagnosed with Spina Bifida at birth.

Says Boris, “The news hit hard, but through consulting with various specialists and by educating ourselves we found a way to address our daughter’s needs and provide her with the best care and treatment available today.

Please give what you can and help us help our kids.”

Here’s a sneak peak of the trailer for the new NBC show Undercovers. Below is a MobileGive widget that allows you to donate $10 to Sophie’s Voice Foundation. The tax-deductible gift shows up on you cell phone bill and much needed funds go to research and education for treatment and cure of children suffering with Spina Bifida.

Ben Stiller launches “original” Text2Give campaign

powered by Wordpress Multibox Plugin v1.3.5

Ben Stiller tells Lance Armstrong about his “original” idea to start a charity called STILLERSTRONG in order to help the community of Ceverine, Haiti and build a new school there.

Stiller’s campaign is not without detractors…and pending lawsuits. Most notable by Lance Armstrong himself who hastily video taped a response to StillerStrong in an emergency Armstrong Foundation board meeting this week. We’ll see who’s tongue in cheek is STRONGER.

Stiller teamed up with MobileCause partner CauseCast to create this real mobile giving campaign.

Video: TV Star Kim Cattrall Supports the Eleven Eleven Campaign

powered by Wordpress Multibox Plugin v1.3.5

The Eleven Eleven Campaign — a two year effort asking 11 million Americans to contribute at least $11 in support of Veterans service organizations and charities. The campaign culminates on Veterans Day, 2011: 11/11/11.

Blog by Kim Cattrall:
“Once the parades have passed and our wars have faded from the news, how we treat our returning soldiers and their families is the measure of our country’s character.

Unfortunately, Veterans Day — which began more than half a century ago as a profound national holiday — has now become little more than a day for people to skip work or a chance for shoppers to find a good sale.

We should do better than that. And beginning today, we can.” read more
