FREE2LUV, Global Nonprofit Dedicated to Ending Bullying and Spreading Love, Offers Bullying Solution

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 26, 2012 - Seattle, WA - October 26, 2012 – In celebration of their first anniversary, Free2Luv, a global nonprofit organization dedicated to ending bullying, spreading love and stopping hate, will release their Free2Luv Anthem single November 15, 2012 to raise funds for their bullying prevention program.  This much anticipated song celebrates EVERYONE’S individuality and freedom to love both themselves and others.  The Free2Luv Anthem is an upbeat, dance tune written by award-winning hip hop artist, Saidat and performed by Saidat and vocal powerhouse Gabbie Rae, two Free2Luv Ambassadors who are passionate about creating change.  They join Celebrity Ambassadors Fran Drescher, Lisa Kudrow, Tom Arnold and Mayim Bialik to name a few, who stand up to bullying with Free2Luv.

The proceeds from this single will help get the FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS BULLY Tour in communities nationwide spreading the global message that one person can make a difference, together we change the world.  The FDLFB Tour combines music, movement and motivation to engage, enlighten and educate students on the impact of their words and actions.  This entertainment experience will reach 20 regions of the country in 2013, reaching over 200,000 children, leaving each child with the powerful tools to STOP! THINK! SPEAK!

“Because music is a universal language, we are using it to reach our youth and truly make an impact,” says Free2Luv CEO and Co-Founder, Tonya Sandis.  “When we go into schools and communities, we want our children to know that they are powerful and they have a voice, and it is important to use it for good.  We believe the bullying epidemic begins with low self-esteem and if we work to change that, we can change the face of this epidemic.”

“I am so happy to be part of Free2Luv,” says Saidat.  “In order for anyone to be free, you first have to love yourself and love and respect others.  This is what the Free2Luv movement is all about.  I wrote this song ‘Free2Luv’ to compliment the amazing work that will be done to help people all over the world realize that love can truly set us free."

"It feels so amazing to be part of the Free2Luv Family. This organization is so passionate about ending bullying and I am so happy to stand up with them,” says 14 year old, Gabbie Rae.  “Sharing my voice on the Free2Luv Anthem was such an honor. Music reaches people and I am excited to use my voice to help make a difference.”

With the rise in teen suicides, it is Free2Luv’s passion to reach as many communities and children as possible to spread the word that each child has their own unique purpose.  Through their social awareness campaign, community outreach, celebrity ambassadors, youth advocates and corporate alliances, Free2Luv is breaking down the barriers of hate and celebrating everyone’s individuality and freedom to love.
