Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony; Doing It For the Kids


If you were lucky enough to be at PS 36 Unionport School in the Bronx yesterday, you may have noticed some pretty cool guests. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony graced the students there with their presence.

The reason for the visit? The Puerto Rican power couple was doing a press conference for their upcoming tour together. They also announced that they would be donating a dollar from every ticket sold to the ING Run For Something Better Campaign.

J. Lo emphasized how much her upbringing in the Bronx made her the strong woman that she is today. “This is my core, this is where my stability was built,” she said. “Everything that I’ve been able to accomplish, everything that I go through, all the highs and lows, whatever it is, I get through it because of where I came from. And I came from here.”

And she explained why she and her hubby were so jazzed about working with ING. “For me, it was really a great thing to find a charity where they were talking about running, because I used to run track and it was such a big part of my life. Every concert there will be a booth setup and you can donate ten dollars and you will get these little symbolic laces saying that you’re running for something better in your life.”
