Bert and Justin Bieber
This afternoon I attended a press conference at Phillips Arena to hear Justin Bieber and local radio personality Bert (from Q100) talk about stuffing a school bus for a great cause. In the conference Justin talked about people donating new and unused toys outside his concert this evening only. For each toy donated, Georgia’s Own Credit Union will match the donation. All the toys will be given to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Their goal is to give every child admitted in to the hospital a toy for Christmas.
It was my first time meeting the Bieber and he was very cool! He said he was very happy to be involved and glad he can help make a change. I found out he was from Canada and moved to Atlanta when he turned 14. He said in the conference that he looked up to Michael Jackson and Usher because both of them were big influencers and givers.

Vendors setting up
Outside of Phillips Arena they were setting up for the concert and fans were starting to line up. Inside the bus were rows and rows of toys that were donated and it was about 1/3 full. Justin said he hopes they fill it up and if they run out of room, they will get another bus lol. My daughter almost passed out because I went to see The Bieber but I assured her I would get some great shots for her. He is very handsome in person! Glad to see this young man is starting early showing others that its good to give back! I got to chance to introduce myself to him and he was a gem! Thanks to 360 media for the invite!
