SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NexCen Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEXC) ("NexCen") announced today a charitable campaign by one of its franchise brands, MaggieMoo's Ice Cream & Treatery. As part of the brand's commitment to community giving, Miss Maggie Moo, the ambassador of MaggieMoo's Ice Cream & Treatery, spent time with her celebrity friend Mario Lopez, while handing out MaggieMoo's ice cream cupcakes, Valentines and Miss Maggie Moo dolls to the children at the Santa Monica - UCLA and Orthopaedic Hospital.
