Selena Gomez & The Scene will perform along with surprise musical guests, with profits from the concert benefitting the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to provide lifesaving <a href="http://www.unicefusa.org/work/nutrition/" target="_blank">nutrition</a>, <a href="http://www.unicefusa.org/work/water/" target="_blank">clean water</a>, <a href="http://www.unicefusa.org/work/health/" target="_blank">medicine</a>, safety and <a href="http://www.unicefusa.org/work/education/" target="_blank">education</a> to children worldwide. The best part? The concert sold out immediately after tickets became available last week, meaning a rockin good time and a whole lot of support for UNICEF.</p> <p>Giving back has always been important to me. This concert allows me to connect with my fans in person which is one of the best parts of my job and to raise money for important causes at the same time I cant think of anything I would enjoy doing more, Gomez said of the charity concert.</p> <p>Selena was appointed a UNICEF Ambassador in 2009 and has traveled to Ghana and Chile to witness UNICEFs work first-hand in the field. She has since supported many of the U.S. Fund for UNICEFs events, projects and campaigns, including the <a href="http://www.unicefusa.org/campaigns/george-harrison-fund/" target="_blank">George Harrison Fund for UNICEF</a>, the <a href="http://www.tapproject.org/" target="_blank">UNICEF TAP Project</a> and <a href="http://youth.unicefusa.org/trickortreat/About/" target="_blank">Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF</a>. Selenas first charity concert to benefit UNICEF was held in celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF in October 2010.</p> <p>Rocking out for a cause? Count us in!

She fell in love with it, and told all my friends about it. Then she emailed the company and told them she wanted to help.</p> <p>Gomez, the star of the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, has now participated in a $750,000 funding round for the start-up its first outside investment, and her first-ever tech investment.</p> <p>People in Silicon Valley like to talk smack about celebrity tech investors, but with the power of social media, theyre not quite as much of a vanity move for all involved anymore. Gomez has more than eight million Twitter followers and nearly 25 million Facebook -ers.</p> <p>A little light promotion by Gomez has already been really effective, said Postcard on the Run founder and CEO Josh Brooks. A single post on her Facebook page led to 20,000 app downloads in 24 hours.</p> <p>And shes been using the app herself, Gomez added. She said she has sent at least 12 postcards to her grandmother, and shes sending cards to fans, as well 25,000 of them signed up for the chance during a recent promotion.</p> <p>Postcard on the Run competes with Postagram and the new Apple Cards. What is Postcard on the Runs standout feature? Scratch-and-smell scents on your postcards.</p> <p>>No, really. For an extra 50 cents, on top of the usual $1.49, you can embed the scent of sunscreen into the wish-you-were-here card you send from Hawaii. Other fragrances include chocolate, popcorn and holiday spice.</p> <p>Gomez joins a new class of celebrity tech investors most prominent among them Ashton Kutcher, who has made tons of investments in companies like Airbnb, Zaarly and Hipmunk. In addition to money and advice, Kutcher famously promotes his portfolio companies through social media, in print and on his TV show. Others celeb investors include Kim Kardashian (ShoeDazzle), Justin Timberlake (Myspace and others) and Leonardo DiCaprio (Mobli). Mashable has been saying that a start-up investment by Gomezs boyfriend Justin Bieber is imminent.</p> <p>Brooks, meanwhile, is not just some up-and-coming app developer meeting a celebrity for the first time. (Which is kind of too bad, right? Id like to imagine Selena Gomez plucking a nobody from obscurity as shes trying new apps on her tour bus.) He was formerly VP of programming and music at Myspace and head of content and programing for Project Playlist; before that, he was a talent manager.</p> <p>Brookss other investors include Crosscut Ventures, Mike Jones, Kamran Pourzanjani, Yves Sisteron, Aber Whitcomb, Brian Fitzgerald, Ryan Steelberg, Colin Digiaro, Brian Lee, Chris DeWolfe and Jarl Mohn.</p> <p>Will Gomez keep investing? she said, but at the moment, Im good. I dont like overwhelming myself, I like to focus and put my all in, so thats what Im doing.</p> <p>Courtesty of <a href="href="http://allthingsd.com/20111117/selena-gomez-makes-her-first-tech-investment/?mod=tweet" target="_blank">AllThingsD.com</a></p><p>From <a href="http://www.selenagomez.com/">www.selenagomez.com</a></p>Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:15:00 -0800http://www.selenagomez.com/news/54011<p>It's finally here!
