American Idol Gives Back
The more I hear Ryan Seacrest talk about the American Idol Gives Back campaign, the more I really feel this is going to be an amazingly huge fundraising event and effort.
From the people they’ve got involved with the special show they’re going to have in a couple of weeks on April 24th, and the sponsors they’ve already got lined up to sponsor the number of incoming phone calls, I think this relief effort is going to raise a couple of million dollars at least!
The focus of American Idol Gives Back is to raise awareness of poverty and it’s impact on children in the United States and in Africa. The two day event will entail the following:
- Tuesday April 24, your vote will count more than ever. Each time you call, sponsors will make a donation to Charity Projects Entertainment Fund to help children and young people in America and Africa.
- Wednesday April 25, a very special results show will feature a star-studded extravaganza of celebrity artists performing at both the American Idol stage and prestigious Disney Hall, including: Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Helena Bonham Carter, Forest Whitaker, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Mr. Bean - Rowan Atkinson, and Daniel Radcliffe from “Harry Potter!”
Do you realize it more stars and celebrities got involved like this and put their money where their mouth is, the efforts of Hollywood and professional sports teams could probably eliminate a significant portion of many of the problems that are not solved purely because of effort and money.
I applaud American Idol and its producers for trying to impact change in our world by using their clout and popularity to do something really good.

I made a donation the night of American Idol gives back, and have yet to receive my recipt. Sure came out of my bank account quickly ! Would appreciate, someone getting back to me. This does not speak well of this cause.
Have tried the toll free #,left message and no call back. Do I have to chalk this up,to yet another scam ? Barbara Lallement
