Chat 4 Charity, LLC announced the launch of a new website allowing members of the entertainment industry an opportunity to contribute to charitable organizations in a unique and exciting way. With celebrities like Angela Robinson (The Haves & The Have Nots), Tony Award winner Karen Olivo (West Side Story, Harry's Law), Frenchie Davis (The Voice, Rent), and Eden Espinosa (Wicked) already registered, Chat 4 Charity is quickly gaining recognition and becoming one of the most innovative new ways to give back.

The website (http://chat4charity.net/) features a 'pay per minute' telecommunications platform that connects fans with some of their favorite entertainers through Live chat while contributing to various charities at the same time. Each celebrity profile includes a 'call button' that links to an anonymous phone number for fans to call or schedule a call. The per minute rate supports charities such as Music Cares, Broadway Cares, Actors Fund, Episcopal Actors' Guild and Rosie's Theater Kids. CD's, autographed memorabilia, show tickets, backstage passes and alike may also be available in the celebrity's individual web store for an additional fee should they choose. A percentage of all proceeds will go directly to the celebrity's charity of choice.

"Chat 4 Charity does more than just 'thank you' for your donations," said renowned Broadway performer and CEO Ramona Keller. "We reward the 'giver' by providing them with an experience they will always remember. The celebrity operators on our network recognize the importance of giving back, and with the support of their fans are hoping to help those in need."

By joining the Chat 4 Charity network, celebrities can connect with their fans on a more personal level, and for a good cause. Giving back is among the most important and valuable acts of any human being and chatting for charity is a great way to do so without having to leave the comfort of your home. By donating your time and star-power, you too can make a significant impact in someone's life.

The funds raised will help a number of charities across the globe increase awareness and continue their efforts in servicing those less fortunate. Will you chat for charity?
