WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 19—Multi-platinum recording artists Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Dupri and Daddy Yankee have joined forces with the American Red Cross to help save lives with a series of public service announcements (PSAs) for television, print, and radio.
Daddy Yankee is currently a member of the Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet, while Jermaine Dupri is a former member, and Wyclef Jean is a Red Cross supporter.
The Red Cross developed these new public service announcements (PSAs) to help urban communities across the country to prepare for emergencies and feel safe in this ever changing world. These PSAs were created specifically to reach a new generation of volunteers, and to encourage people of all races, ages and ethnicities to support the Red Cross in their community.
