I Will Graduate – Not Just a Mantra Anymore Print E-mail

When tests and finals come around, the mantra "I will graduate, I will pass this test and I will graduate" passes through, I'm sure, many heads. To help make that happen, the Entertainers 4 Education Alliance has announced their initiative called the I Will Graduate Campaign.

Entertainers 4 Education Alliance, E4EA, is an organization set to help youth make smart choices and stay in school, and they're partnering with web-based company Bragster to help with the campaign.

Entertainers 4 Education Alliance has the awareness campaign on their site at E4EA.org, and Bragster.com has an interactive bet going. The two are challenging one million students to pledge that they will graduate high school and continue on to college.

Students can leave their stories and other comments on discussion boards. Bragster has also signed on to donate one dollar - to a max of $30,000 - for students who sign up on their site, participating by voting in this bet.

Bragster has created a landing page for E4EA and the promotion to get young adults to continue on with their education at www.bragster.com/iwillgraduate. Students who take the pledge receive special incentives as well as an invitation at the end of school's term to a special webcast event with one of their favorite celebs.

E4EA knows the drop-out crisis in the United States is something that needs to be addressed, and not only addressed, but dealt with. Students can't do this alone and need the help and support of friends, family and their community, so they know that everyone is behind them to succeed.

I hope that this program can really help motivate students to graduate. I first read about the campaign on Global Grind and I think that it is a great idea. Education should be a top priority for the youth. Knowledge is power.

This sounds great! Too bad this wasn't around when I was in high school...I would have joined.
