Snowboarding champion and gold medal winner of the X Games Hannah Teter joined with Clearasil® PerfectaParty to help out Children International. Guests at Teter’s 25th birthday party donated to help feed 29 children in the Kanyama Community School near Lusaka, Zambia. In addition, a portion of Teter’s Sweet Cheeks Panties line goes to help feed the hungry, and she’s sponsored seven children in Honduras and the Philippines since 2007.
Teter’s also the Athlete Ambassador for Children International’s Game On! Youth Sports(TM), a program developed by the International Alliance for Youth Sports.
“When we heard that Hannah wanted to raise money at this event for Children’s International, we did not hesitate to match the total amount of money raised,” stated Clearasil Senior Brand Manager Nathan Marafioti. “It is our pleasure to do our part to support such an important and impactful cause.”
Children International president and CEO Jim Cook said, “We are grateful to Hannah and Clearasil(®) for helping children living in crushing poverty. Their support means children’s lives will change dramatically.”
