Lady Gaga has teamed up with Virgin Mobile to combat youth homelessness. For the past several years, Virgin Mobile has been a champion for this issue, creating several innovative promotions to encourage young people to help the homeless. This past summer, they distributed free concert tickets to those who joined the effort by volunteering in homeless shelters.

This year, they are taking this combination of pop music and charity a step further. New York fans who donate a "Service Kit" comprised of hygiene items will score a free ticket to Lady Gaga's North American tour, "The Monster Ball Starring Lady Gaga."

"I'm thrilled to partner with Virgin Mobile on my tour," said Lady Gaga in a statement. "They are a great brand and company and I'm really happy to see them encouraging my fans to help out homeless youth and the agencies that provide at-risk youth with critical support."
