Flix ~ Usher Unveils “Be Iconic” Billboards
You may have already spotted the billboards all around town that features a young, smiling Usher Raymond. I even saw one myself last night as I was rolling down Peachtree Street and posted a twit-pic:
“Billboard says “Be Iconic” and has Usher’s baby pic begreatamerica.org/usher Cute! ” April 29th 8:44pm
Well today the R&B superstar officially unveiled the “Be Iconic” billboards as part of the Boy’s & Girls Club’s “Be Great” campaign:
Five-time Grammy award winner, philanthropist and Boys & Girls Club alumnus Usher today unveiled a new billboard featuring his childhood photo as part of Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s” BE GREAT” campaign. Usher’s theme – BE ICONIC – ties to his profile as an award-winning, multi-platinum musical icon and a positive role model. He attended the Boys & Girls Club of Chattanooga as a young boy. Usher joins the likes of Denzel Washington, Shaquille O’Neal, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Muhammad Ali as part of BGCA’s new advocacy campaign, featuring successful Boys & Girls Club kids and encouraging every American to help young people BE GREAT.
Usher was joined at the ceremony by his mother/manager, Jonnetta Patton, Mark Lazarus (Chairman of the Marketing Committee for BGCA, and President, Media and Marketing for Career Sports & Entertainment), Roxanne Spillett (President and CEO, BGCA) and kids from BGCs and Usher’s New Look Foundation. and nope…there was no sign of Tameka.
Shouts out to SimoneSmalls PR for the press release & photos.
