TEAMS WITH ALLIANCE HOLLYWOOD
TO HOST LOS ANGELES PARTY ON SUNDAY, APRIL 26
FOR LAUNCH OF SISTER ORGANIZATION
FREEDOM CHILDREN
NEW NON-PROFIT WILL REHABILITATE, EDUCATE AND INSPIRE CHILDREN LIVING IN CONFLICT AND POST-WAR CONDITIONS
Alliance Hollywood–the non-profit corporation that utilizes the entertainment industry to lobby the government in order to promote and advance social issues and serves as the voice of entertainment on Capitol Hill–is set to launch a sister organization Freedom Children. The new non-profit is devoted to helping displaced and orphaned children from war-torn regions around the world, beginning this year with Iraq. The launch party, set to take place in Los Angeles on Sunday, April 26 at Coco De Ville lounge (755 N. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles), will be hosted by MATT SORUM (drummer for multi-platinum rock bands Velvet Revolver, Guns N’ Roses and The Cult) and feature a performance by jazz/soul singer-songwriter Adjoa Skinner.
“We’re trying to help raise awareness and educate people on this crisis and another tragedy of war,” says Matt Sorum, who became involved with the cause after Freedom Children’s president Gianni Rossti asked for his help. Rossti – a former child of war who was born in Iraq and escaped at age 16 – now uses his personal experience to advocate for children of war-torn regions. Sorum explains: “Gianni Rossti asked for my help and I gladly accepted. This is a situation in war torn regions around the world. It gravely needs our attention. The innocent people are never to blame in these situations, especially the children. Many are left on their own with no parents or family from the horrific events that transpire through conflicts of war.”
The Freedom Children launch party event is being sponsored by The One Group, Michael Greene Jewelers, MyStylishWorld.com, Roussos Construction, See It Simply, Inc, UrbanDump.com and Konst Law Offices.

Freedom Children, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to globally foster, rehabilitate, educate and inspire children in regions of post war and current armed conflict. This year, Freedom Children will be traveling to Iraq to assist the needs of the Iraqi children displaced and orphaned from their homes and families. We are especially proud to introduce the President of Freedom Children, Gianni Rossti. Mr. Rossti is a highly dedicated individual who was born into a Kurdish family in Baghdad and immigrated from Iraq at age 16. He received a degree in Business and is a current entrepreneur in the fashion and internet industries. Since his escape from Iraq, Mr. Rossti has been an advocate for children of war-torn regions. As a former child of war, his experience and knowledge of this important cause make him well qualified to lead this effort.
About Alliance Hollywood:
Alliance Hollywood is a DC non-profit corporation, whose purpose is to utilize the entertainment industry to “clean lobby” and promote issues to government leaders and its representatives in order to heighten awareness and furtherance of those issues. Alliance Hollywood is the first lobbyist group to represent the entertainment industry. Most lobbyist groups represent their industry’s interests. We represent what our industry is interested in. We care about improving our country and speaking to
government on behalf of those who don’t have a voice. There is a time and place for every new idea or concept. In this time of new beginnings and positive change, the time is right for an organization to bring together two forces for the betterment of society.
