Volunteers Wrap to Benefit National Inclusion Project

Clay Aiken's National Inclusion Project recently announced their 6th annual holiday gift-wrapping awareness campaign and fundraiser, Wrapping for Inclusion. The campaign will take place in shopping malls and stores across the country throughout the 2009 Holiday season.

Raleigh, NC, September 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The National Inclusion Project co-founded by Clay Aiken recently announced their 6th annual holiday gift-wrapping awareness campaign and fundraiser, Wrapping for Inclusion. The campaign will take place in shopping malls and stores across the country throughout the 2009 Holiday season.

Volunteers will wrap gifts in exchange for donations to the National Inclusion Project. Individuals of all abilities are encouraged to participate.

“We are looking for volunteer wrappers throughout the holiday season to share their voice about the possibilities of inclusion. Schools and youth groups can make this an inclusive community service project by putting together teams of children with and without disabilities,” said Diane Bubel, co-founder of the National Inclusion Project.

Last year over 1,200 volunteers wrapped for inclusion nationwide. Monies raised help fund the National Inclusion Project’s “Let’s ALL Play” inclusive program model that brings inclusion to recreational programs nationwide.

In 2009, National Inclusion Project partners impacted over 5000 children with inclusive opportunities. Children with and without disabilities participated together in swimming, games, arts and crafts, and team building, but more importantly they developed friendships and experienced benefits that will last a lifetime.

"Wrapping for Inclusion gives volunteers across the country the opportunity to share the vision of the National Inclusion Project. By working together, we are creating a world that celebrates children for their abilities", said Bubel. "We appreciate the time and dedication of all our Wrapping for Inclusion volunteers as well as all those holiday shoppers who will donate to the National Inclusion Project.”

For information on how to volunteer email Aron Hall at aronhall@inclusionproject.org or download the “Wrapping For Inclusion” manual at www.InclusionProject.org.

About National Inclusion Project

The National Inclusion Project, formerly the Bubel/Aiken Foundation, serves to bridge the gap that exists between young people with special needs and the world around them. By providing services and financial assistance, the Project supports communities and programs in creating awareness and opportunities for full inclusion where barriers break and doors open. It is their goal to create an environment for children where inclusion is embraced.

HERE'S AN INTERESTING ARTICLE FROM CANN

Quote
As the ClayNation was busy voting on the Tweeterwall last week, an odd and scary screen popped up for many voters.  The page looked like an announcement from the user’s security system.  But, if one looked carefully, it was, in fact, a web site that was trying to scam the user and infect their computer.  Word spread quickly and fortunately, most of the voters were not infected by the scam.

Photo Flash: Clay Aiken Attends DRIFT At Kennedy Theatre
Friday, September 25, 2009; Posted: 09:09 AM - by BWW News Desk

Clay Aiken attended a production of DRIFT last night at The Kennedy Theatre in Raleigh where Hot Summer Nights at the Kennedy's production of DRIFT is playing it's final week.  DRIFT was the first production to grace the new Lauren Kennedy and Alan Campbell Theatre at Barton College and ran from September 12-20, followed by a current run at The Kennedy Theatre at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh from September 23-27 to close the season.

With music and lyrics by Jeremy Schonfeld and additional material by Craig Popisil, DRIFT is about a man's journey of gaining peace and perspective on his life, after the break up of his marriage and family. Schonfeld also musical directed for the Hot Summer Nights production.  The New York Times recently raved "(Schonfeld's) score was assured and appealing piano-based rock reminiscent of Jonathan Larson and Billy Joel."

Aside from Campbell, Kennedy and Schonfeld, DRIFT includes a creative cast and crew from New York, Los Angeles and North Carolina. Sharing the stage with Campbell will be Broadway actor David Barrus (Les Miserables and Chess) as well as Sean Jenness (Jerry Springer: The Opera at Carnegie Hall, Roller Derby), Michelle Kinney, Yolanda Rabun, Gregory Dale Sanders, Andrea Schulz Twiss and Melvin Tunstall III.

Neil Sedaka has great praise for Clay... Via GetClayAiken

Quote
As for recent covers of his hits, he says he loved Clay Aiken’s remake of “Solitaire,” which Aiken performed while Sedaka was a guest judge on American Idol a few years back, and which went on to reach No. 4 on the Billboard charts.

“Clay has an emotional, strong, beautiful voice. I loved that,” he said.
