Jackson Rathbone attended yesterday’s Melanie Segal’s Teen Choice Retreat which was sponsored by T.J. Maxx and whose goal is to bring awareness to child poverty:

One in every five children in the United States lives in a family with an income below the federal poverty line.  In some places in the U.S. living conditions resemble parts of the developing world.*

At the event, celebrities signed and decorated reusable tote bags to auction off on eBay which will raise additional funds and awareness for the program.

As well, T.J.Maxx is making donations to Save the Children in honor of each celebrity that participated in signing a tote bag for charity.

This event honors 26 years of partnership between T.J. Maxx and Save the Children.  It is the kick-off to a comprehensive back-to-school season program where T.J.Maxx stores nationwide will sell specially designed reusable tote bags created with Save the Children artwork.  T.J.Maxx will donate all profits from these sales to Save the Children U.S. Programs.
