NEW YORK /PRNewswire/ -- Recording
artist Sir Ivan will host his annual
Hamptons extravaganza to celebrate the success of his latest
Billboard hit, Kiss All The Bullies
Goodbye, produced by Paul Oakenfold,
featuring Taylor Dayne. The event dubbed Sir
Ivan's Royal Tea Dance will take place
on Saturday, August 22ndat Sir
Ivan's Castle and recreate the ambiance of Studio 54,
the iconic New
York nightclub where every night a mixed LGBT and
straight crowd danced in harmony. The Castle will glow in rainbow
colored LED lights for the special occasion, just like the White
House did when gay marriage was made legal. Guests will be dressed
as one of the Village People, a musical group
that best symbolizes the party theme of diversity, acceptance and
love.
The
child of Holocaust survivor Siggi B. Wilzig, Sir Ivan knows what the toll of
aggression and hostility to others can do to people as well as its
long-lasting effects. Thus was born his Peaceman Foundation,
founded in 2005, which battles against all discrimination,
especially helping the LGBT youth who have been affected by attacks
and bullying. Sir Ivan and his Peaceman Foundation have donated
over $200,000 to anti-bullying charities. In 2012, Sir
Ivan and The Peaceman Foundation donated $100,000 to The Trevor Project, which provides
crisis intervention and suicide prevention to LGBT youth.
In
conjunction with the new release of his pop single Kiss
All The Bullies Goodbye, Sir Ivan and The Peaceman
Foundation have donated an additional $100,000 to ten key non-profit organizations that
combat bullying and intolerance including: It Gets Better Project;
the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Educational Network (GLSEN); the
Born This Way Foundation; Pacer's National Bullying Prevention
Center; Parents & Friends of Lesbians & Gays (PFLAG); Stomp
Out Bullying; Campus Pride; Love is Louder/The Jed Foundation, the
Anti-Defamation League and The Trevor Project. The music video
for Kiss All The Bullies Goodbye was directed by
MTV and BET award winning director Erik White, and net proceeds from video
views, song streams and downloads will be donated to anti-bullying
initiatives.
Media is invited (shuttle buses from NYC
provided).
