LG Electronics and Hayden Panettiere held a pool party along with 50 youth members from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sta. Monica to highlight the role of Hayden Panettiere in the marketing efforts for the LG Xenon. Hayden and company celebrated the afternoon event with a barbeque and afternoon celebration by the pool.

LG Mobile Phones also presented the Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Monica with a check for $15,000 to aid the organization’s programs in the Los Angeles County. A group of Hayden Panettiere’s friends, including Dania Rameriez, Jesse McCartney, Corbin Bleu, Gilles Marini, James Kyson Lee and AnnaLynne McCord were also in attendance for the afternoon celebration.

“The mission of the Boys & Girls Club is to help young people reach their full potential as caring, responsible adults and the money provided to us today on behalf of LG Mobile Phones will help with this goal — as donations are essential to building and sustaining the programs that enable us to make a real difference in the lives of local youth,” said Allan Young, President and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica.

The LG Xenon is available at AT&T retail stores nationwide and online at www.wireless.att.com for $99.99 with a new two-year agreement.

The partnership to support the Save the Music Foundation is really a venture between LG Mobile and VH1 but they got a little help from Grammy Award winning rapper and star of Law and Order: SVU Ice-T who spoke with students about the role music has played in his life.

Grammy Award winning artist Chrisette Michele performed two songs, “Epiphany (I’m Leaving)” co-written by Ne-Yo and “Love Is You” co-written by John Legend. Executives from all organizations were present at the event, including Executive Director of the VH1 Save The Music Foundation Paul Cothran, and Senior Director of Marketing Communications for LG Mobile Phones Tim O’Brien.

LG Mobile Phones joined forces with the VH1 Save The Music Foundation for a one-year, multi-faceted partnership to promote the importance of music education. The partnership will include check presentations at public schools around the county and a national year-long advertising campaign - ‘Come Together’ - that was funded by LG Mobile Phones to raise awareness about music education and the positive impact it has on children’s lives.
