Ellen DeGeneres and Anderson Cooper definitely deserve a Tangled Ball Award. Tangled Ball is all about engaging more people in this dialogue, raising awareness and inspiring folks to actively do what they can to blunt the long tail of pain that bullying causes.
This issue has needed high profile celebrities to step up and Ellen and Anderson have done just that. It’s great to have that power to reach so many people. If I could choose a super power, that would be it.
Ellen is encouraging people to donate to three different organizations. All of them are good. Tangled Ball particularly likes Pacer. (More on them in a future post.)
And Ellen and Anderson, if you read this, contact me. The more people we reach, the better off kids will be…and Tangled Ball is ready, willing and able to help.
