Emily Grace Reaves and Noah Cyrus on the red carpet at L&R Foundation Launch
Emily Grace Reaves, who stars in Hannah Montana Movie, one of 2009's biggest hit films, successfully launched the Lollipops and Rainbows Foundation on May 2nd, realizing her grandfather Dave Reaves' decade long mission.
What is Lollipop & Rainbows? Emily believes in the power of YOUTH which is what the LOLLIPOPS symbolize. She believes that no matter how young you are, you can make a difference. The RAINBOW represents the "beauty of all colors"; symbolizing that regardless of color or race, your true beauty lies within. The foundation supports (4) specific charities closest to Emily's heart. Each part of the foundation's logo symbolizes a cause to encourage everyone to get involved and support their charity of choice:
* THE "PEACE" LOLLIPOP - The Peace Fund (Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere)
* THE "FAITH" LOLLIPOP - Saint Jude's Children's Hospital
* THE "LOVE" LOLLIPOP - Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)
* THE RAINBOW - Children Uniting Nations
Emily has also decided to add the "STAR" LOLLIPOP, also known as the "wild card" lollipop and can symbolize any charity its donor wants to support.
