Do Something and BusRadio Announce New Public Service Partnership

Do Something PSAs featuring top teen celebs to Reach BusRadio's One Million
Young Listeners Nationwide

BOSTON, June 24 -- DoSomething.org, one of the largest
not-for-profits for teens and social change in the US, and BusRadio, a
national radio network that brings age-appropriate music, news and public
service messages to 1 million kids during their daily bus ride, announced a
new partnership today. Do Something's original PSAs featuring top teen
celebrities, including Jordin Sparks, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen,
and ways for teens to take action in their communities will be broadcast to
BusRadio's expansive young audience of elementary, middle and high school
age youth.

The partnership will help promote youth volunteerism and the belief
that any teen can take action and make change in their communities right
now. Do Something is committed to reaching teens wherever they are and
making it as easy as possible for them to get involved. What better place
to reach teens than on their bus on their way to school.

"Do Something is very excited to team up with BusRadio as we work to
inspire a generation to take action in their communities," said Aria
Finger, CMO, Do Something. "BusRadio's wide reach among young people in
school districts across 24 states will allow Do Something to reach
thousands more young people every day."

"BusRadio is thrilled to share Do Something's message of encouraging
young people to get involved in their communities with our listeners. We
understand the importance of volunteering and we're proud to be a part of
Do Something's mission," said Steven Shulman, president and co-founder of
BusRadio.
