Dentyne Gum and the Safe Breath Alliance Ensured Celebrities Used "Protection" at Last Night's Webby Awards
Armed with Dentyne Ice, Marlon Wayans and Michael Ian Black Brought Safe Breath Awareness to the Red Carpet
NEW YORK, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- One thing everyone knows, award shows extend into great after parties, which ultimately lead to early morning, up-close-and-personal, breath encounters. Last night in New York City, the Safe Breath Alliance (SBA), the only completely made-up organization committed to educating Americans about the importance of practicing safe breath, took over the red carpet of the 15th Annual Webby Awards, ensuring attendees were prepared to practice safe breath with Dentyne, before, during and after the event.

Leading the charge was the face of the SBA, Marlon Wayans, who took to press row spreading the word about this important cause. Wayans, a prominent voice on Twitter with a following of more than 600,000 fans, served as the on-stage Twitter ambassador for the Webby Awards.
"The hotter you are online, the more protection you need in person," said Wayans. "Congratulations to all of the Webby Award winners, and remember to practice safe breath."
Also helping out was actor and comedian Michael Ian Black, the Official Red Carpet Host and another esteemed member of the Safe Breath Alliance. He spoke with celebrities and Internet executives before the show and helped attendees, like Adrian Grenier, Brooke Shields and Antoine Dodson, practice safe breath with Dentyne Ice.
The Safe Breath Alliance's presence on the red carpet was made possible by Dentyne, the Official Red Carpet Sponsor of the 15th Annual Webby Awards. The Webby Awards, which honor excellence on the Internet, took place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City and were streamed live on Facebook. Winners were celebrated for their excellence in websites, interactive advertising & media, online film & video, and mobile & apps.
