Lady Gaga and Virgin Mobile to Drive Awareness of Youth Homelessness in LGBT Communities.

Virgin Mobile USA announced today that it is extending its award-winning relationship with Lady Gaga, and will be presenting her 2013 Born This Way Ball tour in North America. Through the partnership, Virgin Mobile will educate concert-goers on the issue of youth homelessness, calling on fans to step up to support both its Re*Generation program, which focuses on the issue, and Lady Gaga’s youth empowerment organization, Born This Way Foundation.

One lucky fan selected at each show will have a $5,000 donation made to a local youth homeless shelter on his or her behalf – and then have the opportunity to increase the donation by spreading the word socially or volunteering for the cause. This fan will also get a special surprise from Mother Monster herself.

Virgin Mobile will also be giving fans a variety of ways to get involved in helping raise money to make a difference. Fans at the shows will be encouraged to tweet pictures of themselves, and for every tweet Virgin Mobile USA will donate $1 to a local youth homeless shelter. In support of the Canadian tour stops, Virgin Mobile Canada will be motivating fans to donate to Re*Generation via a text-to-donate program.

Lady Gaga Gives Gifts and Concert Tickets to School Shooting Victim

by Brandi Fowler / eonline

Lady Gaga surprised a 17-year-old high school student with a package of T-shirts, CDs, two tickets to her upcoming concert and a special message, after he was shot in the back on the first day of school by a classmate.

Police said Daniel Borowy, who has Down's syndrome, was struck at random when a student fired a shotgun twice in the cafeteria of Perry Hall High School in Baltimore, according to the NY Daily News.

After learning that Borowy was a big fan of Gaga, community members started a Facebook page called "Lady Gaga please visit Daniel" to get the superstar to visit the teen in the hospital.
While Gaga wasn't able to make the trip, Borowy's father, Milton, said via the page, "It is pretty cool that someone in her position took the time to make a complete stranger happy…to see the smile on his face is overwhelming. Thank you Lady Gaga and thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this happen!!"
