James Durbin is a former American Idol finalist - finishing fourth during the show's 10th season in 2011. He has gone on to release his first album and embark on a nationwide tour. However, Durbin hopes to make an even bigger impact away from the Idol stage. Earlier this year, he agreed to be the celebrity spokesperson for the Be a S.T.A.R. (Show Tolerance And Respect) Alliance - the anti-bullying program initiated by the Creative Coalition and WWE. Durbin explained his reasons for getting involved with Be a S.T.A.R. in a recent CBSNews.com interview. Check out the video below (email subscribers click here).
In two weeks, WWE will celebrate the 1000th episode of Monday Night Raw in St. Louis. But before anyone steps in the squared circle, Durbin will join WWE Superstars and 1,000 young people in a rally geared toward ending bullying in schools and communities. The Be a S.T.A.R. rally will be held at 10 a.m. on the morning of July 23 at Kiener Plaza in downtown St. Louis. Admission is completely free. We just ask that you download and complete the permission form found at bit.ly/1000Strong. You can email the waiver to salexander@stlsports.org or fax the form to 314-621-1391. Remember, stars like James Durbin and those in WWE can start the battle to end bullying, but only stars like you can end it. Until next time...
Be a Good Sport!
