Coffee Kids Inc. Announce Downloads For Dollars

(PRWeb) January 22, 2007 -- Coffee Kids Inc. proudly announces "Downloads for Dollars," in partnership with DJ Come of Age and Markus Ekholm. DJ Come of Age and Markus Ekholm, a world-renowned production duo, have pledged to donate fifty percent of the revenues from Internet downloads of their compilation "Downloads For Dollars-Volume One". This innovative project features twelve wonderful artists united in support of Coffee Kids. Available only as a digital release, the album can be found on all digital stores such as iTunes, MSN Music, Napster, and others.

Music lovers everywhere can now support Coffee Kids simply by downloading a single track or full album. "Downloads For Dollars-Volume One" is a soulful amalgamation of pop, soul, jazz, and mellow instrumentals. It features Slowmo, Stico Von Drake, Marcel Penn, Emily Ivari, Severin 24, Sean Mooney, Hassanah, Kathy Compton, Michael Annotti, and Wendisue. "We wanted to use the both the global reach and appeal of beautiful music to bring attention to worthy causes. The aspect of downloads fully grasps the grassroots of society and thus allows everyone to contribute in support of the artists and Coffee Kids" (DJ Come of Age).

In the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, many musicians donated proceeds from album sales to victims of this catastrophe. The healing power of music came to the forefront to help those in need. The sincerity of collective artistic efforts was duly noted. What effect would music have on society if it were continually used to garner attention for those in need? In a digital society, shouldn't digital sales play a major role in fundraising? "Downloads For Dollars" hopes to answer these questions. The program is a revolutionary idea partnering stellar independent musicians with established non-profit organizations while addressing a dual purpose: (1) Give deserving artists much needed recognition and a viable outlet to sell their music (2) Provide a continuous opportunity for non-profit organizations to raise money for their stated aims.

Created DJ Come of Age and Markus Ekholm , this DJ/producer combo has garnered international acclaim with their podcast "Soul Music of the World" and a noted catalog of over 200 songs, beats, and graphic designs.

Who founded Coffee Kids and when?
Coffee Kids was founded in 1988 by Bill Fishbein, the owner of Coffee Exchange, a specialty coffee roaster and retailer in Providence , RI . That year, Bill had traveled to Guatemala and saw first-hand the connection between coffee farming and poverty. He created Coffee Kids as a way for coffee businesses and coffee consumers to give something back to the families who grow coffee.

Healthy Smoothie Recipes
Healthy Smoothie Recipes are great for a 'pick me up' after a run or a jog. But, it is most important you know what you are drinking in that smoothie. A lot of smoothies you buy are loaded with sugar which isn't going to your best choice. Natural sugar is going to be your best choice so be sure to ask your vendor what they are putting into your smoothie and try to stay away from artificial ingredients. Caffiene loaded coffee smoothies are very popular but again, that isn't going to be your best choice after a workout. It might taste good but it won't replenish your body after a good run.
