ONE’s co-founder and U2 lead singer Bono, Somali-born singer and poet K’naan, FOX news host and former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, media magnate Arianna Huffington, former first daughters Jenna and Barbara Bush, George Clooney, Clive Owen, Jessica Alba, Christy Turlington Burns, Kristin Davis, Idris Elba, Colin Farrell, Annie Lennox, Joe Jonas, Liya Kebede, Justin Long, Rob Lowe, Ewan McGregor and Evan Rachel Wood.
