Held in non-traditional ven- ues such as fairgrounds, parking lots, and fields—and sponsored by shoe manufacturer Vans since the tour’s inception in 1995—it has been known as “Vans Warped Tour” since 1996. This article discusses the interplay of brand communities and philanthropy bordering on social entrepreneurship as underpinnings of the philosophy of Warped’s founder, Kevin Lyman. It identifies both Lyman and those factors as the primary reasons for the longevity and other successes of Warped, both as a music festival and an entrepreneurial venture. Keywords: entrepreneurship, leadership, brand communities, mar- keting, music festivals, entertainment, music business Methodology and Research Design The methodology and research design for this case study were three- fold. First, the author reviewed more than ten years of Warped and Kevin Lyman-related journalism for the purpose of learning the history, reported successes, and failures of the entity. Second, the author researched schol- arly journal discussion of music festivals, brand communities, and entre- preneurship for the purpose of putting in place a framework comprising factors that influence whether music festivals and entrepreneurs succeed or fail.

  • Amicus Curiae the Keep a Breast Foundation and Authority to File
    I. INTEREST OF AMICUS CURIAE THE KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION AND AUTHORITY TO FILE The Keep A Breast Foundation (the Foundation) operates breast cancer education and prevention programs and targets its awareness campaigns towards the youth community. (App. Vol. 1 at 4.)1 The Foundation sells and distributes the “I Boobies!" bracelets worn by the student-appellees which led to their suspension by appellant EASTON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT. (Id.) A fundamental interest of the Foundation is to promote awareness and knowledge of the breast cancer epidemic among all young people and to encourage them to advocate for their own health. This interest will be frustrated should a school district be able to ban the wearing of the bracelets. This Amicus Brief is desirable, and the matters asserted in the amicus brief are relevant to the disposition of the case, because the amicus brief discusses issues which may not be adequately treated by the parties and are directly relevant to the free speech rights of the student-appellees: the breast cancer epidemic; early detection is critical to treating breast cancer; breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in young women under the age of 40; studies show breast cancer may have origins in adolescence; the Keep A Breast Foundation was founded to educate young people about methods of breast cancer prevention, early detection and 1 A cite to a document in the Joint Appendix is referred to as (App. Vol. (volume number) at (page number).) 1 support; the Foundation fosters numerous programs to empower young

  • Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report 2015 Chairman’S Message
    Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report 2015 Chairman’s message Juan Luis Cebrián Executive Chairman PRISA Dear friends, During 2014, PRISA’s activity has focussed chiefly on digital transformation and on strengthening our position in Latin America. This Annual Sustainability Report offers an analysis of what makes our performance a model of what a responsible company should be. In this regard, our commitment to the UN Global Compact is well known, as is our active par- ticipation in numerous national and international platforms and projects that ensure corporate transparency. The principles and values of our cultural tradition are linked to the creation of value far beyond mere financial re- turns. Value for our customers and users, value for our employees, for our shareholders, and for society in general. PRISA’s constant innovation is evident in the growth of audiences for our media, in revenues from digital products and in the development of new education systems across Ibero-America. A full year before the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative come into force, PRISA has voluntarily undertaken to draft its 2015 report according to the new G4 version of the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) at a comprehensive level, thereby highlighting the constant endeavor of the Group to be a responsible and sustainable organization, and one that is committed to the values that it enshrines. I would like to to convey a message of optimism about our prospects for the current year. PRISA has enormous future potential, given the dynamism and talent of our professional teams and the commitment of everybody within the company.

EASTON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Kimbrilee M. Weber* I. INTRODUCTION As part of a national breast cancer awareness initiative, the Keep A Breast Foundation (“the Foundation”) began its “I • Boobies!” campaign.1 The campaign featured plastic bracelets with the “I • boobies! (KEEP A BREAST)” slogan, which the Foundation marketed and sold nationally.2 Two middle school students at Easton Area Middle School, B.H. and K.M.,3 noticed the campaign’s popularity, purchased their own bracelets, and began to wear the bracelets at school.4 The two girls wore their bracelets to school during the 2010- 2011 academic year.5 Initially, teachers at Easton Area Middle School were unsure of how to react to the bracelets.6 As a result, the school debated the issue internally for some time.7 Eventually, a school security guard and the assistant principal told B.H. and K.M. that they *J.D.

Postfeminist culture has an influence on breast cancer culture in several ways, through a neoliberal focus on consumption as a form of activism, continual self- monitoring for beauty and health, a “girling” of women, and the sexual subjectification of women.
