Staying Alive Foundation and Travie McCoy

Staying Alive Foundation ambassador Travie McCoy visits Manila, Phillipines

If you were looking for a way to give back this holiday season, I’ve found it. Gym Class Heroes’ frontman Travis McCoy has a new single on iTunes called One At A Time. All the proceeds of it go to the MTV Staying Alive Foundation that provides financial support for various HIV awareness projects around the world.

As a Staying Alive Foundation ambassador, Travie took a week-long trip to cities in South Africa, the Philippines and India to see firsthand what the foundation does. It was definitely an eye-opener for him as you’ll see in the documentary below. After you watch, go buy his single.

Meet Shari Baldie, GRAE New York's Resident Girl About Town. In 2009 Shari created GRAE New York out of spring break boredom. Finding inspiration in everything from music and style to art and culture, GRAE New York is a digital magazine of her lifestyle and influences. When she’s not writing or being a girl about town, Shari spends her time (unsuccessfully) convincing native New Yorkers that her Westchester hometown is not “upstate." It’s an ongoing battle.
