Southern California Personalities Give Gift of Song to Komen Orange County This Season

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 10, 2012 - There’s a need, are you listening? Susan G. Komen Orange County (http://www.komenoc.org/) has created a catchy holiday parody (http://youtu.be/bmFKsrz-2j8). The local affiliate has written original lyrics to the tune of the holiday classic, “Winter Wonderland,” asking the public to donate funds for life-saving mammograms. Thirteen personalities, well-known for many things (but not singing), graciously offered their time – and voices – to support the campaign Komen’s christening.

The video went live today on YouTube and can be viewed at: http://youtu.be/bmFKsrz-2j8.
