Santa Monica CA -- ICON Distribution, Inc. announced today the launch of Oksana Grigorieva’s charity initiative to benefit Chernobyl Children’s Project International’s cardiac surgery program, including a single released on iTunes and through her website at www.Oksana.fm

“I wrote the song Angel for my son,” says Grigorieva.  “The song is about looking to the future with hope.  That’s why I wanted to tie the release of the song to Chernobyl Children’s Project International, a charity that brings hope to children in communities affected by the Chernobyl disaster.”  

ICON Distribution has developed a series of public service announcements featuring Grigorieva that will be distributed online and through social networking sites to educate viewers about the initiative and how they can help.  

Today in Ukraine, 6000 children are born every year with genetic heart defects. More than half of these children will not get the surgery they need to survive and will die.  Proceeds from downloads of Angelwill allow Chernobyl Children’s Project International to send volunteer surgery teams to Ukraine and Belarus to operate on children for free and train local physicians. Fans will be invited to keep track of how the initiative and how they are helping at Oksana.fm and on the Oksana Grigorieva Fan Page on Facebook. 

Oksana Grigorieva is a classically trained pianist and singer who recently wrote and produced her own album, Beautiful Heartache.

Chernobyl Children’s Project International is a 501c3 non profit based in the USA and Ireland that helps children and families in Belarus and Ukraine who suffer the socially, medically and economically from the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. www.chernobyl-international.org
