Dear friends,
As you know we've been working with Esprit in Hong Kong to support their 'Esprit Friends' campaign over the last two months. Their official alivenotdead.com profile is here:
http://www.alivenotdead.com/esprithk/
We helped to promote their casting call for 'The New Face of Esprit' in August and we were very happy to find out that 4 of the 8 winning groups were referred through alivenotdead.com! Winners included Kristina Lao, Raven Hanson, Vince Chung and CBFresh (Simon, Derrick, B, Peapops, Rob and Chung!)
The billboards featuring the winners are just starting to appear in HK this week, we're very excited to help alivenotdead.com artists get this kind of exposure! Stay tuned for pictures and behind the scenes info on the Esprit profile.
Additionally Esprit is organizing the launch party for their new FLAGSHIP STORE in Tsim Sha Tsui on October 17th. And since they're closely working with us, we've helped them line up a great set of artists to perform at the event. In addition to some appearances by the musically inclined entrants for the 'New Face' competition, we also get to see Jun Kung, Eman and Ellen of at17 and Eman's brother Chet Lam perform on stage. To top it off, three musical have been selected from Esprit's band competition. Special guest MCs are Terence Yin and Helen To!

We have tried our best to help out with various charity causes whether it be for the Sichuan Earthquake in May 2008, the Taiwan flooding in August 2009 or environmental groups like Reef Check. Also a number of artists on the site are very active in Charity work, for example
Daniel Wu and
Karen Mok both do work with Habitat for Humanity,
Paul Wong is very active with Médecins Sans Frontières, and of course there's
Jet Li's One Foundation.
Recently the devastating Typhoon Ketsana hit the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia and there was a powerful earthquake in Indonesia and a Tsunami in Samoa.
We encourage everyone to help the recovery efforts if possible. Here are some potential charities you can donate through:
Thanks in advance!
