Singer Carly Rae Jepsen, known for hits including Call Me Maybe and I Really Like You, has joined forces with Duracell for its Powering Holiday Smiles campaign in Canada, which aims to help thousands of children spending the holidays in the hospital.

Duracell is to donate a year's supply of batteries to children's hospitals across Canada, to help power children's playroom toys and games, as well as giving a portion of money raised from sales of its batteries to charity Children's Miracle Network. Jepsen commented 'Children's Miracle Network is such a wonderful organisation, and I'm just glad that I can be here to help support a great cause and power a few smiles along the way'.
