Scoop It Forward with Target and Ben & Jerry's

This summer, Target, Ben & Jerry's, and VolunteerMatch want everyone to get involved in their communities, and we're sweetening the deal to prove it.

Scoop It Forward, a summer-long promotion, invites people to discover your volunteer opportunities on VolunteerMatch.org. Once volunteers have signed up for an opportunity that excites them, they'll receive coupons for free, service-themed ice cream from Ben & Jerry's. The two special flavors, Berry Voluntary and Brownie Chew Gooder are available exclusively at Target stores throughout the nation.

Essence Music Festival 2009


Special Thanks

Very special thanks to our volunteers and corporate sponsors for making our participation in the Essence Music Festival 2009 community incentive an outstanding success! Essence Magazine celebrated its 15th anniversary of the Essence Music Festival themed Party with a Purpose in the New Orleans over the 4th of July holiday. Our corporate sponsors this year included: Administrative Resources & Solutions, Coca-Cola Company, Inc., Entergy New Orleans, Inc, Gertler, Gertler, Vincent and Plotkin LLP, Hands On New Orleans, Levy and Associates Employment Benefit Planners, Louisiana Office of Public Health Center for Community Preparedness, Wal-Mart, and Dr. Warren Johnson. Over 1,800 took part in the pandemic flu survey at our booth conducted by the Louisiana Office of Health. The festival offered free seminars ranging from health to personal finance and ticketed nightly concerts. More than 428,000 people attended the festival breaking last year’s attendance record of 278,000 festival goers. It is reported that there will be $130 million of economic impact for the City of New Orleans as a result of the festival. New Orleans has hosted the Essence Music Festival for 14 years, with the exception being in 2006 due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Thanks again to all of our wonderful volunteers and corporate sponsors.
