“The three participated in a wide-ranging discussion about creativity and storytelling, which covered how technology is changing the creative process on Madison Avenue and in Hollywood. At the end of the session, Ben posed for a group photo with Elisa and Jeff and a crowd wearing StillerStrong headbands, and uploaded it to Flickr. He asked everyone to view it and share it with their friends. For every click, Yahoo! will donate a dollar, up to $50,000, to Ben’s StillerStrong charity,” explained Yahoo!.
The StillerStrong charity is raising money to help the Haitian School Initiative, an effort to help provide temporary schools for Haitians displaced by the earthquake in January 2010. The $50,000 that Yahoo! donates will go towards building one temporary school in Haiti.
