From
Tuesday, Dec. 18 - Monday, Dec. 24, AMERICAN IDOL will
provide complimentary gift wrapping in local shopping centers in New
York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta. At the festive stations,
shoppers can have their purchases wrapped in exclusive
IDOL-themed paper and watch clips and exclusive AMERICAN IDOL content.
Former IDOL contestants, including Bo Bice, Brooke White and Anthony
Fedorov, among others, will stop by the gift wrapping stations to spread
some holiday cheer (appearance schedules to
be announced).
In
the spirit of the season, The American Red Cross will be on-site in New
York, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta to collect donations for Hurricane
Sandy
relief. At the wrapping stations, American Red Cross representatives
will be available to collect cash donations, but also to help shoppers
donate $10 by texting REDCROSS to 90999.
“The American Red Cross is very
grateful to FOX and AMERICAN IDOL for their
support as we work to provide relief to those affected by Hurricane
Sandy,” said Jennifer Niyangoda, Executive Director, Corporate and
