ORLANDO, Fla., June 6, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Raven Moon Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB:RVNM) announced today that it donated space on the NBC AstroVision Screen in Times Square so that Gina D host of the GINA D'S KIDS CLUB -- a pre-school program seen on 145 television station across America -- and two boys named Max could auction off an opportunity for children to appear with them on the NBC AstroVision Screen in the heart of Times Square.
This past month Gina D and the "Two Maxes" participated in auctions held in St. Louis and Orlando and raised over $25,000 of which 100% went to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Future Auctions are planned to be held live on EBAY, with one winner selected every month. The winners will appear on the NBC AstroVision Screen for a whole month with "Gina D" and the "Two Maxes". To participate visit www.ebay.com, keyword Gina D.
The project started when Gina D heard that one of her cast members in GINA D'S KIDS CLUB -- Max Harlyn King age 9 who lives in Celebration, Florida along with his friend Max Rowe also age 9 who lives in Missouri -- unfortunately contracted juvenile diabetes last year.
To try to raise $1 million to find a cure, the "Two Maxes" were selling max-life awareness bracelets for $2 each at Max Harlyn King's Montessori School in Celebration, Florida when Gina D came up with the idea of getting them national publicity by having this unusual auction and attracting media attention in the Big Apple on Times Square.
The picture of the initial auction winners, Gina D and the "Two Maxes" will appear on the NBC AstroVision for twenty seconds 96 times a day from July 15, 2005 to August 15, 2005 and then the new EBAY auction winners will appear each month thereafter.
Their goal is to find a "celebrity angel" who will open the door for them to do the New York talk show circuit with appearances on Live with Regis & Kelly, Ellen, The Tony Danza Show and The Today Show.
"We are so close to finding a cure and we are hoping that this public relations effort can bring the kind of media attention needed to make people aware of the need for their support," stated Karen Bacharach-White, Executive Director for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in Orlando.
As part of the EBAY "Gina D's Times Square Auction," Raven Moon will donate 50% of the proceeds raised from the auction to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on a monthly basis.
