You get free music AND raise money to end relationship violence? Win-win!

Macy's and Alfani have partnered with the Family Violence Prevention Fund's RESPECT! Campaign to work against relationship violence. Download Ne-Yo's new song "Heroes" for FREE off Macy's website, and they'll donate $1 to the RESPECT! Campaign. So let's get this straight: all you have to do is click a button, and you get a hot new song, plus you raise money to stop domestic abuse? That's music to my ears.

The Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) has a positive record of working to protect women. The FVPF helped develop the landmark 1994 Violence Against Women Act, and was instrumental in the International Violence Against Women Act currently before Congress. They'll put Macy's and Alfani's money to good use in promoting healthy relationships and working against abuse. Kudos to the store and clothing brand for picking such a great target for their extra dough.

Even better, "Heroes" is actually a dance-worthy tune, so you can really boogie down to ending relationship violence. On the downside, there's only ONE DAY LEFT to help somebody who needs a hero in their life by downloading the song today. As of my writing, there have been 35,681 total downloads -- which translates into $35,681 for education about healthy relationships. Make sure you download the song before it's too late, then suggest it to all your friends. Seriously, who doesn't want free music that fights relationship violence?
