Salt Lake City-based SnugZ USA announced on November 18 it will sponsor a worldwide telethon/webcast to help bring in funds for the production of more inspirational bracelets for the Pay It Forward Foundation.
The rubber bracelets with the message “Pay It Forward” where originally created independently of the foundation by Snugz vice president Charley Johnson as a way of encouraging acts of kindness. After having tremendous success with his personal effort, Johnson teamed up with the Pay It Forward Foundation, created by Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of the book Pay It Forward which inspired the 2000 movie Pay It Forward featuring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osmont.
Johnson plans on doing both television and radio interviews in support of the telethon and the “Pay It Forward” message.
