LOS ANGELES â€" JULY 31, 2014 â€" Chideo, the first interactive charity broadcast network, has partnered with rock legends KISS for a summer-long promotion that not only connects fans with their favorite band in new and exciting ways, but is also generating support for American military veterans.

Fans of KISS who register on Chideo’s website or download the Chideo App (available for iOS and Android) and then donate to the August Warrior Project will gain access to exclusive sweepstakes, behind-the-scenes video content, and other opportunities to get up close and personal with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and the other band members. The promotion, which kicked off earlier this month, ends August 31 in Houston on the final stop of the KISS 2014 Summer Tour. [2]

“Chideo is an amazing new model for musicians like us to support the causes we care about,” Simmons said. “The platform makes it fun and easy and fun for fans to donate and make a difference. Working together, I know we can accomplish great things for men and women who have served our country so honorably.”
