Youth Service America, Disney and Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) combine forces to celebrate amazing young people improving their communities in a Hollywood-style bash, planned for Sunday, Oct. 5, from 6 to 11 p.m., with ticket sales limited to 5,000 fans. Tickets, go on sale at 9 a.m. PDT, Saturday, Aug. 30, at www.disneyparks.com/miley. Miley Cyrus took the world by storm as Hannah Montana on the hit Disney show, entitled Hannah Montana. The show is an Emmy Award-nominated television series, which debuted on March 24, 2006, on Disney Channel. The series focuses on a girl who lives a double life as an average teenage school girl named Miley Stewart (played by Miley Cyrus) by day and a famous pop singer named Hannah Montana by night, concealing her real identity from the public, other than her close friends and family. Find out how you can launch your own service campaign at: www.YSA.org and tell Miley what you have planned to do for your community.
