Dada Entertainment™ (www.dada.net) today announced an innovative charity drive to raise money for Yéle Haiti (www.yele.org), the organization founded by multiple Grammy-Award winning musician, producer, and Haitian Goodwill Ambassador, Wyclef Jean. The initiative – which launches today and runs for a full week – will see a portion of every new Dada.net® subscription donated to support the work of Yéle Haiti and their plan to repair schools that were recently destroyed in the region.
“We are excited to be able to use our success to give something back through a worthwhile group like Yéle Haiti, and we are sure our consumers will be thrilled they are doing their part as well,” said Dada Entertainment CEO said Massimiliano Pellegrini. “Wyclef Jean has done such tremendous work in Haiti, we couldn’t think of a better organization or a better person to partner with for our first charity initiative. We wish Wyclef and Yéle Haiti the best as they continue their great work long into the future.”
Dada Entertainment is supporting the charity drive through banner ads and links on its homepage: www.Dada.net. There will also be a dedicated page on the Dada® website describing the program and Yéle Haiti. Dada Entertainment CEO Massimiliano Pellegrini will present a check to Wyclef Jean at a presentation at the end of the week.
"In the world of digital innovation and changing behavior in receiving news and information, it is always great when organizations and companies use their ability to reach for a positive purpose. I am happy to announce our initiative with Dada Entertainment, and am looking forward to working with them and my organization, Yéle Haiti," said Wyclef Jean.
