\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 March 25, 2013 \u2013 Registration is open for South County Habitat for Humanity\u2019s annual \u201cPound the Pavement, Pound a Nail\u201d walkathon, which begins and ends at the 溏心vlog免费B站 quadrangle on April 6. The 3-kilometer walk begins at 2 p.m., and all proceeds will support Habitat\u2019s Old North Village on the edge of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Kingston campus.<\/p>\n


\n\tImmediately following the walk, Rhode Island lifestyle brand Alex and Ani will host a free concert on the quadrangle by its musical partners, Colour of London. In addition to the concert, post-walk activities include family-friendly games, food, vendors and photo booths wired to social media sites.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThe \u2018Pound the Pavement, Pound a Nail\u2019 walk is going to be the highlight of our spring fundraising efforts,\u201d said Lou Raymond, executive director of South County Habitat for Humanity. \u201cWe are hoping that with the help of the 溏心vlog免费B站 community, we can finish Old North Village and make two more families\u2019 dream of owning a home a reality. With the addition of the concert sponsored by Alex and Ani, we can really make this event something special.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tAll 24 fraternities and sororities at 溏心vlog免费B站 are participating in the walk, totaling over 500 students, and each chapter has a goal of raising $3,000 to support Habitat for Humanity. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis event is a great opportunity for Greek life to get involved in supporting a great cause,\u201d said Abby Campbell, the PanHellenic advisor in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Office of Greek Life. \u201cThey\u2019re always looking for good causes to support. Last fall, all of the funds they raised during their Philanthropy Week activities went to Habitat, so this event continues their commitment to this great organization.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nFormer American Idol contestant Jimmie Allen and composer and guitarist Nate Woodall formed Colour of London in 2010. Based in Nashville, they toured with the Idols of America Tour of Japan in 2011. Alex and Ani\u2019s Designer Carolyn Rafaelian, founder and creative director, and CEO Giovanni Feroce became early fans of their music, featuring a signature song, Beautiful Day, for the company\u2019s advertising campaign, and Not Too Far Away for Alex and Ani\u2019s 2013 commercial spot, which played during the Super Bowl. Currently, Alex and Ani presents the Path of Life Tour featuring Colour of London at select Northeast universities and colleges.<\/p>\n


\n \u201cCharity is a big part of Alex and Ani, and we had created the Path of Life Tour to go to universities in the Northeast and collaborate with them to create a dynamic concert experience embodying positive energy, charitable spirit, community university spirit, and Greek life spirit,\u201d said Mark Coleman, Alex and Ani director of entertainment. \u201cAs we approached 溏心vlog免费B站, the Habitat walk came up in conversation and seemed like the perfect fit. We are excited to be a part of this event supporting 溏心vlog免费B站 and South County Habitat for Humanity.\u201d <\/p>\n
