I have a very special campaign to tell you all about today (and you can win a prize too!). To help get the school year started off on a positive note, Energizer is partnering with the VH1 Save The Music Foundation to help restore instrumental music education in America’s public schools. Helping to kick off the campaign is Grammy®-nominated platinum-recording artist and VH1 Save The Music Foundation Ambassador Jordin Sparks.
Below are some ways you can get involved in this wonderful cause:
First, Jordin Sparks will perform at a secret location in New York City on July 28. If you live in the NYC-area or will be in the area, come join in the fun. The performance will be free and open to the public. For now, the location of Sparks’ performance is a mystery. Be sure to keep your eyes on the VH1 Save The Music Foundation tab on the Energizer Bunny® Facebook page, check out the Energizer Bunny® Twitter handle, @EnergizerBunny or follow #EnergizerSTM on Twitter for the latest news and hints. The location will be revealed the morning of the 28th!
Second, now through August 12, you can help support the VH1 Save The Music Foundation simply by clicking “LIKE” on the Energizer Bunny® Facebook page and becoming a fan. For each new “LIKE” through August 12, Energizer will donate $1 to help restore instrumental music education through the VH1 Save The Music Foundation.
Third, Energizer is making eight grants to public schools around the country, and fans of the Energizer Bunny® Facebook page will help direct one of these grants by voting for a city where an instrumental grant will be made. Cities vying for the now that’s positivenergy™ grant from Energizer and the VH1 Save The Music Foundation include Philadelphia, Birmingham, Minneapolis, New Haven and Weirton, W.V. Energizer is supporting these grants with a $250,000 overall donation to the VH1 Save The Music Foundation.
There is something for everyone! In addition to powering music education in America’s public schools, Energizer is also powering Americans’ playlists. Right now in stores, specially-marked Energizer products contain a special code so when someone buys three participating products, he or she can go online to www.nowthatspositivenergy.com/music and redeem the codes for a $10 iTunes Gift Card. Be sure to look for those packages!
I hope you all choose to get involved in this cause. I think restoring instrumental music in America’s public schools sounds like a fantastic idea and I know I will do what I can to be involved. You ca visit www.nowthatspositivenergy.com/
The Energizer Bunny is my very special friend (okay, not really but go with it) and he has offered to give one of you a $10 iTunes gift card in celebration of this partnership with VH1 Save the Music Foundation!

I wish I could play the piano. I’ve made attempts in the past to learn various instruments, but I guess I’m just not a musical person. I like to listen to it, but playing it is for someone else I suppose.

I used to play the piano back in high school. In fact, I was close to perfecting Fur Elise. But since it was the only place that allows people to play their piano, I had to stop once I graduated. Now I wish I could play it again.
