Pharrell Excites Donation Strategy with #readHAPPY
Per affiliate TheJVcoolFiles:
If you've been living under a rock this past month: one-half Neptunes conductor Pharrell Williams has partnered with massive nonprofit literary unit Penguin Young Readers to donate up to 50,000 books to children residing in low-income areas. Upon disclosing further information, Pharrell shared that the donations develop when an interactive social media user posts #readHAPPY on his/her respective timeline, which in turn will result in an instant donation.
This news comes after a recent controversial event in South Africa, where Pharrell was protested by less than 1,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators who were offended by the "Let's Get Blown" superstar's separate partnership with an Israeli-importing retail unit. Nevertheless, Pharrell is steering away from any negativity, as he continues to maintain strong vocal work with his #Happy campaign, in optimistic wish of enriching the underprivileged with positive vibes.

Proceeds garnered from the record would go on to be utilized as aid towards victims of the Kosovo War:
