According to Virgin Mobile, "Celebrating the three-year anniversary of National Homeless Youth Awareness Month designated by Congress through the efforts of The RE*Generation, Virgin Mobile's charity arm, Public Enemy will perform on November 18th at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium for one unforgettable night with ticket proceeds benefiting Sasha Bruce Housee, a non-profit shelter for homeless youth in Washington, D.C. Adding to the excitement will be a sneak-peek screening of Kyocera's ALL Access, the eagerly anticipated documentary in which aspiring young filmmakers chronicle the award nominated Virgin Mobile FreeFest and capture the raw excitement of the bands and their fans."

Tickets can be purchased for $25 at DC's 9:30 Club prior to the show or online at www.aneveningwithpublicenemy.com starting on Friday, October 30th at 10 a.m. As always, Virgin Mobile USA customers and past attendees of Virgin Mobile FreeFest will have access to an exclusive pre-sale days beforehand.

"Youth homelessness has consistently been on the rise year over year," said Bob Stohrer, chief marketing officer, Virgin Mobile USA. According to the Health and Human Services Department, the number of contacts with runaways that federally-financed outreach programs make rose to 761,000 in 2008 from 550,000 in 2002, when current methods of counting began and we will only see more young people cast to the streets as the weak economy destabilizes American households. "Virgin Mobile has continued to support this growing issue and this concert in National Homeless Youth Awareness Month is just one of the many efforts Virgin Mobile has initiated to raise awareness of youth homelessness throughout the year."

Wow! Right?

The coolest part of the benefit concert is that if you donate a "Coat" to the 9:30Club you will automatically become VIP for the night!

According to Virgin Mobile, "Working in conjunction with the One Warm Coat initiative, lead by, Serve DC, The Mayor's Office on Volunteerism, fans can bring a new or gently used coat and receive a VIP seat upgrade the night of the show. All coats will be collected for the benefit of the Sasha Bruce House. Coats can be dropped off when purchasing tickets at the 9:30 Club and ticket buyers will instantly receive a free upgrade to VIP seats, subject to availability. If ticket buyers order online and bring a coat to Will Call on show night, they will be eligible for a free VIP ticket as available. "

"This November is the third National Homeless Youth Awareness Month," said Ron Faris, senior director of brand marketing and innovation, Virgin Mobile USA. "We hope fans will enjoy the show, while always remembering the importance of giving back during the holidays."

"Don't believe the hype. Just because everyone says the economy's coming back doesn't mean that homeless kids don't need a place to sleep and keep warm," said Flavor Flav of Public Enemy. "We're happy to put on this show with Virgin Mobile to remind everyone to give back this holiday season."

According to Virgin Mobile, "Kyocera's ALL Access gave youth across America the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the 2009 Virgin Mobile FreeFest and create a rock documentary about the unique music festival, featuring candid moments and exclusive interviews with Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, Public Enemy, Taking Back Sunday, Blink-182 and more. The fourteen young filmmakers, who were selected from thousands of applicants, captured the incredible energy at the event, with a special eye toward the bands' excitement about helping young Americans. The Independent Film Channel (IFC) will debut vignettes of the film this November, to be followed soon after by a public release and a Kyocera world-premiere event."

"Considering Kyocera's deep, ongoing involvement in FreeFest and the generous support of our ALL Access program by Virgin Mobile and Public Enemy, this event is the perfect place to do the first limited screening of the ALL Access documentary," said Tom Maguire, head of global marketing at Kyocera Communications Inc. "ALL Access was all about empowering our nation's youth and we stand with Virgin Mobile in its efforts to address youth homelessness in America."
