CLEAN & CLEAR® Skincare, Demi Lovato and DoSomething.org Join Forces to Start a Massive Movement Encouraging Teens to Give Back

NEW YORK, June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- A surge of teens taking action can make a world of difference!  CLEAN & CLEAR® Skincare, teen sensation Demi Lovato and national not-for-profit organization DoSomething.org are joining forces to energize, celebrate and empower teens to get involved in causes that are important to them.  The program, "Join the Surge," which kicks-off today, aims to grow the DoSomething.org volunteer community from 800,000 teens to 1.2 million by the program's completion in September.

"I am so excited to help teens 'Join the Surge' with CLEAN & CLEAR® Skincare and DoSomething.org," said recording artist and TV star, Demi Lovato.  "Like most teens, I am always looking for ways to get involved in causes that are important to me and I know that this program will have a huge impact in helping others get the support they need to get started."

The "Join The Surge" program is unique because it not only gives teens the tools that they need to start a movement and affect change but gives them the opportunity to be a part of a community where they will receive support, tips and share experiences.  Teens can "Join the Surge" today starting at noon by texting the word "SURGE" to 30644 for more information or by logging onto www.jointhesurge.com.   Thanks to DoSomething.org, all program participants will be matched up with volunteer opportunities based on individual interests and location.

"Hundreds of thousands of teens take action through DoSomething.org each year, and we know that even more are still looking to get involved," said Nancy Lublin CEO and Chief Old Person at DoSomething.org. "By working with CLEAN & CLEAR® Skincare and Demi Lovato, we hope to energize these teens to join our cause and rock something that matters to them."

As part of the campaign, one lucky teen and their best friend will win the opportunity to meet Demi Lovato and watch her perform at an intimate concert in New York City this August.  Teens can enter the sweepstakes by logging onto www.jointhesurge.com.  The concert will air on AOL on September 16th as a thank you to teens who are committed to making a difference.

In addition, teens who commit to "Join the Surge" will receive exclusive discounts off their favorite skincare products including the new CLEAN & CLEAR® MORNING BURST SURGE™ energizing power cleanser that debuts in early July.  This invigorating cleansing device uses a surge of thousands of vibrations to help clean skin of dirt, oil and makeup in seconds.  The ultra-soft massaging pads are infused with vitamin C and ginseng to not only wake up tired skin for a clearer complexion but to also give teens the burst of energy they need to get going in the morning.

"The 'Join the Surge' campaign was created based on the belief that teens have the power to make a difference but often need a boost to get them started," said Rick Ely, Senior Brand Manager for CLEAN & CLEAR® Skincare "I am confident that with the help of partners as passionate as ours we can meet and maybe even exceed the program's expectations."    

According to research conducted by DoSomething.org, it has been shown that teens are 80 percent more likely to volunteer when they do it with their best friends.  With that in mind, CLEAN & CLEAR® Skincare, Demi Lovato and DoSomething.org invites teens to grab their best friends and "Join the Surge" today.
