Usher's "New Look"

Usher's New Look Organization Official Website

Usher has been very involved in helping Haiti since the devastation caused by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the country last week. The singer is stretching his philanthropic arm farther, announcing his partnership with the United Nations Foundation to help the victims of the quake. Through his non-profit, Usher’s New Look, he is calling on young people worldwide to each donate $5 to help the United Nations emergency response in Haiti.

“If only 1 percent of the world’s youth population raised $5 each, we could raise $150 million to support the United Nation’s relief efforts,” Usher said.

Usher’s New Look and the UN Foundation teamed up to empower young people to make a difference.
Once young people raise dollars they can send donations of $5 or more directly to the UN Foundation for the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) website or by check. Youth can also text CERF to 90999 to donate $5, up to five times. The Usher’s New Look website is also linking directly to the CERF donation page.

Young people are also encouraged to use Twitter and Facebook as an outlet for their fundraising initiatives.
