The Jonas Brothers hit a home run for charity at AOL's Dulles campus on Monday, helping to raise $2,900 for Change for the Children Foundation

The Jonas Brothers graced Loudoun County with their presence on Monday, not with their vocal stylings, but with their softball skills.

The performers and their road staff took on staff members of AOL’s corporate office at the company’s celebrity softball game for employees and families of AOL’s Dulles campus as part of the company’s Summer Sizzle program.

For every home run, AOL donated $100 to the Change for the Children Foundation, an organization founded by the Jonas Brothers a little over a year ago to create programs that help to motivate and inspire children to help other children who are facing adversity with confidence and the will to succeed, said AOL spokesman Kurt Patat.

The final score of the game was Road Dogs 15 – AOL All-stars 13. In total, AOL raised $2,900 for the organization. More than 2,200 employees and family members attended.

AOL CEO Talks Layoffs, AIM, And SAI At All-Hands Meeting
By Nicholas Carlson

During an all-hands meeting on Wednesday (15 Jul 2009), AOL CEO Tim Armstrong hinted at more layoffs and said he would set aggressive goals for AOL's publishing business.

During the question-and-answer portion of the all-hands, one staffer asked Tim if SAI's estimate that AOL will probably have to lay-off another ~2,000 employees was close to the mark.

We were glad to hear of Tim's response. First he said that he doesn't even know how large any layoffs will be. Then he said, "The old AOL was run by blogs, the new AOL is run by me."

I think it is ironic that a group of pop-stars raise $2900 for change and they make our local paper. In fact the marketing guy for the Jonas Brothers lives in Ashburn! What a small world. And to bring this insite even more to the forefront.....
Do you know that the Vacation Bible School Kids at Christian Fellowship Church in Ashburn collected over $3500 in less than a week to buy goats for the tribes in Africa. No bells, no wistles, no rock stars....Just kids who care about others and want to change their lives for the better.
Why goats? The goats are bought and then given to villagers to use for milk, food and to sell the offspring. This provides the villages with a continuous supply of stock that can use over and over for the benfit of all.
So you can see how our kids change is changing the world.
