A Minnesota nonprofit is teaming up with a teenage television and music star to launch an anti-bullying Web site.
Minneapolis-based PACER Center will get help from 16-year-old Demi Lovato, star of Disney TV's "Sonny With a Chance," to promote TeensAgainstBullying.org.
Lovato will appear at PACER's offices on Friday to officially launch the site the day before her Target Center concert.
PACER says Lovato was the target of bullying when she was younger and is passionate about the issue.
Lovato's new album, "Here We Go Again," recently hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts.
PACER Center primarily serves families of children and youth with disabilities, but says its bullying prevention project is for all children.
