iPOP! NY 2006 to Raise Money for U.S. Troops While Connecting Aspiring Performers with Managers and Agencies

Los Angeles, CA ( PRWEB ) July 1, 2006 -- iPOP! (International Presentation of Performers, at: http://www.ipopconvention.com) is pleased to announce that “Soldiers’ Angels”, (http://www.soldiersangels.org), will participate in the upcoming iPOP! NY 2006 acting, singing, dancing and modeling talent convention which will take place at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City from July 3 – 6, 2006.

The Soldiers’ Angels is a non-profit organization that provides care packages to American troops fighting the war in Iraq and over-seas. Each year, thousands of American soldiers receive loving packages of good will from Soldiers’ Angels volunteers from all over the Unites States. iPOP! has donated a booth space for Soldiers’ Angels in iPOP!’s Teen Lounge Center at the Marriott Marquis Hotel. iPOP! participants who include young singers, actors, dancers and models from across the United States will have an opportunity to help contribute to Soldiers’ Angels by buying care packages for the US troops or making Soldiers’ Angeles charity donations. Packages can include food staples and toiletries to more exciting items such as popular cds, dvds and candy treats. “We want our young iPOP! attendees to have a special connection to our servicemen who are risking their lives for us everyday in the war in Iraq,” said iPOP! Executive Director, Joseph Beauchamp. “iPOP! wants the troops overseas to know that we care about them and are wishing them well. Soldiers’ Angels is a wonderful organization and we are thrilled they are joining us at iPOP! this year.”

Beauchamp announced in a statement that for every dollar that is collected for Soldiers Angels by the young performers, iPOP! will match this amount and donate it directly to Soldiers’ Angels.
