Dada Entertainment(TM) Launches Initiative to Benefit Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti

Digital Music Company To Donate Portion Of New Subscriptions To Charity For School Repairs From Recent Collapses In Haiti

NEW YORK, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Dada Entertainment(TM) (www.dada.net), one of the foremost innovators in digital and mobile entertainment services, today announced an innovative charity drive to raise money for Yele Haiti (www.yele.org), the organization founded by multiple Grammy-Award winning musician, producer, and Haitian Goodwill Ambassador, Wyclef Jean. The initiative -- which launches today and runs for a full week -- will see a portion of every new Dada.net(R) subscription donated to support the work of Yele Haiti and their plan to repair schools that were recently destroyed in the region.

"We are excited to be able to use our success to give something back through a worthwhile group like Yele Haiti, and we are sure our consumers will be thrilled they are doing their part as well," said Dada Entertainment(TM) CEO Massimiliano Pellegrini. "Wyclef Jean has done such tremendous work in Haiti, we couldn't think of a better organization or a better person to partner with for our first charity initiative. We wish Wyclef and Yele Haiti the best as they continue their great work long into the future."

Dada Entertainment(TM) is supporting the charity drive through banner ads and links on its homepage: www.Dada.net. There will also be a dedicated page on the Dada(R) website describing the program and Yele Haiti. Dada Entertainment(TM) CEO Massimiliano Pellegrini will present a check to Wyclef Jean at a presentation at the end of the week.

"In the world of digital innovation and changing behavior in receiving news and information, it is always great when organizations and companies use their ability to reach for a positive purpose. I am happy to announce our initiative with Dada Entertainment(TM), and am looking forward to working with them and my organization, Yele Haiti," said Wyclef Jean.

Music fans who sign up for Dada.net(R) are given 15 tokens per month for only $9.99 (67 cents a song). Each token can be redeemed for one download of a full-track MP3, ringtone, or other mobile content including wallpapers and games. All MP3 tracks are DRM-free allowing consumers to transfer their download to any mobile phone, iPod or digital music player. Dada(R) expects to be able to offer users over-the-air MP3 downloads to mobile devices in the coming weeks.

Dada.net(R) users are billed for the service through their phone bill via Premium SMS. Dada(R) currently offers all genres of music from Universal Music Group and SONY BMG artists, and will soon announce additional content deals with both major and independent labels.

About Yele Haiti

Multiple Grammy-Award winning musician, producer, and Haitian Goodwill Ambassador, Wyclef Jean founded Yele Haiti (www.yele.org) in 2005 as a way to bring hope back to his native country. Yele Haiti is now a widespread movement that has changed the lives of tens of thousands of children and adults through programs in education, health, environment and community development. Yele works with a wide range of organizations to implement these programs, and incorporates music and sports to increase their impact. Wyclef's leadership has been instrumental in building multi-sector responses to both the food crisis earlier in the year and the recent series of tropical storms and hurricanes that caused such extensive damage in Haiti.
