Content Creators Catered for a Cause

Southern US philanthropist and influencer, Cat Sims, recently co-hosted a dinner party with Vibrant Occasions in celebration of her participation in the Dancing with Our Stars Gala benefiting the Arkansas Chapter’s Children’s Tumor Foundation called Dinner on the River. Sims gathered her favorite fellow content creators to produce an evening filled with great food, music, dancing and plenty of social media sharing.

“We offer private cheffing through Vibrant Occasions and could think of no better way to showcase this service than catering for a cause like the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Our staff was honored to serve Cat Sims and her special guests while celebrating the launch of her latest fundraising campaign through the annual Dancing with Our Stars 2023 Gala. My wife, Mary Krikorian, and I created a custom menu for Dinner on the River that was flavorful, fun and, of course, vibrant for the occasion,” says chef Serge Krikorian with Vibrant Occasions.

Cat Sims will be participating as a dancer and fundraising Star for this special event. The Little Rock Dancing with Our Stars Gala is an annual fundraising effort that supports the Arkansas chapter of the Children’s Tumor Foundation. The event is a dance competition featuring local celebrities paired with professional dancers. Each celebrity competes to raise the most money for the foundation. Fans for each participant can donate by visiting their favorite Star’s donation link which will be live now up until the gala takes place on September 7, 2023.

The gala raises funds for the Children’s Tumor Foundation, which is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. The foundation funds research into treatments and cures for NF, as well as providing support and resources for individuals and families affected by the disorder. The event has become one of the most popular charity events in Little Rock, and it has raised millions of dollars to support the foundation’s mission.

“My husband is a head and neck and reconstructive surgeon at CARTI and he frequently removes very visible tumors from the face, neck and scalp. It’s very hard to see the effects of having tumors removed in addition to chemotherapy and radiation for any patient demographic. Those types of physically-altering treatments and side effects are especially hard when the patient is young. Children can be quite mean and haven’t developed the skills to be sensitive nor considerate toward their peers who don’t look the way they think kids should. I know first hand what it feels like in those pivotal years to be bullied by peers. Though I can’t say that I know what it feels like to help my child fight NF, I am a mother and I want to help take the tiniest percentage of that fight onto my own shoulders in the coming months as I fight to raise funds for this foundation,” said Cat Sims.

The online fundraising competition landscape for nonprofits has experienced significant growth in recent years. There are various platforms and models available that allow nonprofits to engage their supporters, raise funds, and create a sense of community around their cause. Here is some information on the landscape and ways nonprofits can leverage this model effectively:

1. Peer-to-Peer Fundraising: This model involves supporters creating individual fundraising pages and reaching out to their networks to solicit donations on behalf of the nonprofit. Nonprofits can leverage this by providing participants with tools like customizable fundraising pages, social sharing options, and templates for outreach emails. They should also offer incentives and recognition for top fundraisers to encourage healthy competition.

2. Crowdfunding: Crowdfunding platforms allow nonprofits to set a fundraising goal and collect donations from a large number of people. To maximize success, nonprofits should create compelling campaigns featuring impactful stories, visuals, and a clear call-to-action. Engaging social media posts and updates help generate momentum and reach a wider audience.

3. Giving Days: These are time-limited online fundraising campaigns where multiple nonprofits come together to raise funds. Nonprofits can leverage giving days by planning in advance, creating engaging content, and collaborating with other organizations to extend their reach. Building excitement through challenges, matching grants, and real-time updates encourages participation and fosters healthy competition among nonprofits.

4. Donation Matching: Many corporations and individuals offer donation matching programs, where they will match the amount raised by a nonprofit up to a certain limit. Nonprofits can leverage this by actively seeking and promoting matching opportunities. Clearly communicate to donors that their contributions will have a multiplied impact, encouraging them to give more.

5. Gamification: Nonprofits can utilize gamification elements such as leaderboards, badges, and virtual challenges to incentivize participation and encourage friendly competition among supporters. These elements can create a sense of achievement and motivate individuals to raise more funds.

6. Communication and Support: Keeping supporters updated on the progress of the fundraising competition is crucial. Regularly sharing updates, milestones achieved, and stories of impact helps maintain interest and enthusiasm among participants. Nonprofits should also provide support materials, resources, and guidance to ensure participants can effectively fundraise on their behalf.

The key to success in online fundraising competitions is creating a compelling narrative around the cause, fostering a sense of community, and providing ongoing support and recognition to participants. By leveraging these online fundraising competition models effectively, nonprofits can increase engagement, inspire healthy competition, and raise the most money possible to support their missions.

Sims has done an excellent job in producing a buzz around her Dancing with Our Stars campaign by co-hosting Dinner on the River, which engaged her supporters and their supporters, increasing her reach and donations.

LV – Deep Time High Jewelry

Louis Vuitton is pleased to introduce the new Deep Time High Jewelry collection, unveiled in Greece in June 2023.

The Maison’s fifth High Jewelry collection designed by Francesca Amfitheatrof, Artistic Director of Watches & Jewelry, Deep Time is an epic journey through the eons, an ultimate and profound voyage, spanning the birth of the planet to the creation of life and narrated by the most exceptional stones. With this new collection, Louis Vuitton’s singular, original design signature and savoir-faire fuse with the origins of geology and geological legacy that are the heart of jewelry and gemstones.

Deep Time, explored through two acts of geology and life, is the Maison’s largest High Jewelry collection to date, encompassing a total of 16 themes and featuring over 170 unique pieces—including 95 in the first chapter alone—and a record number of precious stones. Each piece features masterfully executed jewels that capture an epic tale of transformation, life, and interconnectedness.

“At Louis Vuitton, we are as ever adventurers, traveling to extraordinary, unexpected places,” says Amfitheatrof. “Deep Time will transport you deeply into the past, to a time and place that is so remote and perhaps even difficult to comprehend. But at the same time, the stones—these treasures that span millennia—will bring you right there, to the beginning of the planet and into a history of the world and its mystical geological legacy.”

JT – NO BARS

JT RELEASES NEW SINGLE “NO BARS”

LISTEN HERE

CITY GIRLS’ JT LAUNCHES NoBarsReform.com TO ASSIST IN REHABILITATION FOR WOMEN WHO ARE RECENTLY RELEASED OR NEARING RELEASE FROM PRISON

JT, one half of City Girls, releases “No Bars” (Quality Control Music/Motown) today. This is JT’s first solo City Girls release since 2019’s “JT First Day Out” which she put out after she was released from a one-year prison stint and nearly two-years on house arrest. Listen to “No Bars” HERE.

The record will also be on the upcoming City Girl’s album.

JT has vowed to use her voice and platform to help other incarcerated women rehabilitate into society by assisting with resources such as therapy, job placement, social services, and housing. With that in mind, she announces the launch of NoBarsReform.com, a website focusing on rehabilitating women who are nearing release or recently released from prison. This is a cause that’s personal to JT, and she wants to give back to women who otherwise wouldn’t have access to resources that will assist them with readjusting to society.

City Girls recently released “Piñata” in June, which came out just one day after their previous single “I Need A Thug.” They also linked up with Diddy and Fabolous on the popular summer bop “Act Bad,” all in preparation for a Bad Girl summer. Prior to that, the duo left their mark on 2022 with “Top Notch” featuring Fivio Foreign and “Good Love” — an uptempo linkup with R&B legend Usher. The latter was the latest in a long line of outrageous hits stretching back to 2017’s “Fuck Dat N***a.” Since then, they have landed platinum records with bangers like “Act Up” and the Cardi B-assisted “Twerk.”

JT’s solo feature appearances include Nicki Minaj’s 2022 record “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix”) and Summer Walker’s 2021 track “Ex For A Reason.”

Having recently been named one of the 50 greatest rap groups of all time by Billboard and nominated for Best Group at the BET Awards, JT and Yung Miami are primed to get everyone dancing as they continue their upward rise toward becoming legends in the game. With more than 15 billion cumulative streams to their credit and co-signs from hip-hop heavyweights ranging from Missy Elliott, who directed the video for 2021’s “Twerkulator,” to Lil Wayne (a featured artist on 2020’s “Pussy Talk”), City Girls are a legitimate phenomenon, who continue to rewrite the rulebook with every new release. Stay tuned for more badness coming your way…

Between 1980 and 2021, the number of incarcerated women increased by more than 525%, rising from a total of 26,326 in 1980 to 168,449 in 2021. While 2020 saw a downsizing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this trend reversed with a 10% increase in 2021.

Lauren Spencer Smith – Mirror

Multi-platinum singer-songwriter & global breakout star Lauren Spencer Smith shares her debut full length album Mirror, out via Island Records/Republic Records. Mirror features 15 deeply moving, personal songs that provide listeners with an autobiographical look into Lauren’s life. The title Mirror is intimate and deliberate:

“I’ve been working on this album for years. It has been with me through so much in my life, the highs and the lows, and it means more to me than I can put into words. It tells a story of reflection, healing and growth. The title comes from the one thing in my life that’s seen me in every emotion through that journey— my bedroom and bathroom mirror.”

With over one billion global streams to date, Lauren amassed an international fanbase via her relatable and authentic lyrics. Mirror includes singles like “That Part,” the quintessential love song of 2023, “Best Friend Breakup,” that offers comfort for those with a certain type of heartbreak, “Fantasy,” which confronts toxic relationships and features her close friends and collaborators GAYLE and Em Beihold, and her breakout songs, RIAA-Certified platinum singles “Fingers Crossed,” and “Flowers.” Mirror is heavily anticipated, featuring the unreleased fan-favorite, “Bigger Person,” and the penultimate single, “Do It All Again,” that has a bevy of melodic and lyrical easter eggs for fans to find.

Coinciding with the release of Mirror, Lauren kicks off a 42-city global headlining tour, starting with her sold-out Chicago show tonight that doubles as a celebration of the album release for her and her fans. Lauren has already sold out more than 30 dates of her first worldwide tour.

Lauren’s recent success has been underscored by performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 2022 MTV VMAs, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and more. She was nominated as a Best New Artist and performed at the People’s Choice Awards, and Apple Music selected her as one of their “5 Breakthrough Artists Of 2022.”

Tickets and VIP for the Mirror Tour are available now. For the full list of tour dates, ticket links and VIP packages, head to tour.LaurenSpencerSmith.com.

DOM – SDA

Houston Music Artist DOM Releases New Single Featuring Erica Banks

Singer, producer, and rapper, DOM is the alter ego of Houston, Texas based music artist Dominique Side. She has become known for her fierce voice and unstoppable energy. Co-owner of VgnBae Music Group, last month, DOM returned to the stage and performed her newly released single with Erica Banks to a packed house of faithful fans at VgnBae Studios in Houston.

Born originally in Biloxi, Mississippi, Dominique had been a part of several R&B outfits until forming VgnBae Music Group in 2019. After producing and singing on different recordings at their studios, in 2021 she stepped into the spotlight, creating music as the force named DOM. Her first EP “IRL” was nothing short of a sonic blast filled with revenge fueled breakup bangers.

“IRL” was a full concept album following the journey of a woman pushed to the edge by a cheating partner. Called “deliciously deranged” and a “dark and sexy rollercoaster ride” by critics, it was streamed hundreds of thousands of times and followed by a complete visual series of music videos. Songs from “IRL” also made their way on the radio, soundtracks, and at fashion retail stores.

Dominique has stayed busy in the 2 years since her last release came out creating her own luxury vegan clothing line, “Nikki Green”. and working on numerous projects with artists at VgnBae Music Group. In June 2023, DOM delivered a new, super twerk-able single featuring Erica Banks entitled “SDA”. It’s the ass-shaking anthem you need this summer and the music video is gloriously booty-licious, showing DOM will have her cake and eat it too.

This most recent track leaves no doubt her boss attitude is still in top form. Abbreviated from “Shake Dat Ass”, DOM’s latest single gives fans a mouthwatering taste of her contagious songwriting and versatility in hip-hop and rap. It’s an indulgent audio feast that continues her uncompromising views on female empowerment of sexuality and success.

A brand new EP is in the works and slated to drop later this year to accompany “SDA”. DOM is definitely making good on the promise that when it comes to her music, “one thing people can expect from me as an artist is authenticity.” It would appear fans can continue looking forward to DOM releasing songs featuring her many sides and dripping with bad b*tch energy.

“SDA” is streaming everywhere: https://sparta.ffm.to/-sda and the music video is here.

JUNNY – INVITATION

JUNNY’s New Single ‘INVITATION’ (featuring, GAEKO of Dynamicduo) Finally Releases Tomorrow On the 6th at 6 pm (KST)

MZ’s pick of ‘the songwriter I want to keep to myself’- JUNNY is releasing a new single called ‘INVITATION’ tomorrow.

‘INVITATION’ was produced during the Codeshare Music Project <8bar Relay>, which was held by LIM GWANG-WOOK, Divine Channel’s producer. JUNNY was the final winner of the <8bar Relay> project in which Codeshare released 8 bar beats to the public, and any contestants would freely sing and upload the video. JUNNY’s project video is now over 3M views, and 3 years later, he is finally releasing the finished song.

Divine Channel took part in producing and has worked on songs like BTS ‘Fire’, VIXX ‘Shangri-La’, and EXO ‘What a Life’, and worked in collaboration on the added bridge section with No2zcat. Not only to add the perfection to his song, also featured by GAEKO of Dynamicduo, who has been known for his perfect rap diction for 20+ years in the Korean hip-hop scene.

The new release, ‘INVITATION’ falls in the trendy genre of R&B/Hip-Hop and Soul/Pop. Just like the name of the title, the song holds the meaning to invite his crush to his house to have a romantic night. With GAEKO’s feature, JUNNY’s melody line clashes beautifully as the rapper adds the story of the lyric with this rhythmic rap showing the synergy of the two Artists. Highly recommend listening to ‘INVITATION’ as a way to cool off the summer heat with this stylish song.

JUNNY, also the hit producer who has worked with Artists like IU, EXO- KAI BAEKHYUN SUHO, NCT U, NCT DREAM, and more, is now about to release his single ‘INVITATION’ on July 6th at 6 PM (KST) and plans to promote in festivals and concerts globally.

Improving as the songwriter from being the Artist’s artist, we are excited to see the further music development of JUNNY in the future.
