June 24, 2009 Speculation and predictions that have filled blogs and discussion boards can be put to rest. The Virgin Mobile Festival is returning, but with a catch. It'll be free.

Virgin Mobile USA, creator of one of the largest and most critically acclaimed music festivals in the U.S., announced today that it would host the 2009 Virgin Mobile Festival on Sunday, August 30, at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md., free of charge. All tickets will be given away, and previous Virgin Mobile Festival ticket buyers and Virgin Mobile customers will have the first crack at securing the 35,000 tickets.

The move celebrates both a giveback to music fans in a bad economy as well as an effort to solicit donations to homeless youth agencies in need around the country via The RE*Generation, Virgin Mobiles charitable arm. Most sponsors, including premier sponsor Kyocera Communications, will be building awareness for the cause in their marketing efforts around the festival.

"Instead of focusing on layoffs or the state of the economy, we want to focus on concrete ways to provide assistance to those in need", said Dan Schulman, CEO, Virgin Mobile USA. "People need outlets to both lend a helping hand and to escape and relax, for free, even if just for one day. We want to throw some good news in the mix".

For decades, Mississippi has borne the shame of having the nation's highest infant-mortality rate - a rate higher than some poor countries such as Costa Rica.

Now health and medical officials are fighting back with the nation's first large pilot program aimed at reducing infant mortality among mothers who already have given birth to babies with low birthweights.

State Health Officer Dr. Ed Thompson said infant mortality exacts a huge cost on Mississippi, taking the lives of more than 800 babies each year.


On top of this, there is the real fiscal cost, he said. Each low-birthweight baby can have medical bills of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those who manage to survive often suffer lifelong disabilities and other health woes.

Under the pilot program, officials from the state Department of Health and University of Mississippi Medical Center are joining to enroll more than 100 of these mothers. In the first few months, officials have enrolled 22.
