Joel Madden, lead vocalist for Good Charlotte, has been named UNICEF's newest Goodwill Ambassador. The news came during a cable broadcast on global child survival titled, The Survival Project: One Child at a Time, which aired on CNN and was hosted by the network's chief medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta. Madden, along with fellow ambassador Lucy Liu, participated in the hour-long special which explored the causes and the actions required to stop the unnecessary deaths of children under age 5. The special also featured UNICEF experts from "the field" and examined the role celebrity plays in bringing attention to the issue of child survival.

"UNICEF is the best organization for children worldwide – they truly make a difference," said Joel Madden. "Twenty-six thousand children die every day from preventable causes, my band performs before that many people regularly, so it's a number I can wrap my head around, and pushes me to want to reduce it to zero."

No stranger to social and humanitarian causes, the 29-year-old Baltimore native and new father, recently formed the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation, a charity which provides funding to groups focused on improving pediatric heath, education and human rights both domestically and abroad. Madden's first field visit as an official UNICEF Ambassador is scheduled for the fall.
