Mikalah Gordon at 2009 Braylon Edwards Foundation Gala

Mikalah Gordon, who you might remember from the fourth season of American Idol, was spotted on the red carpet at the 2009 Braylon Edwards Foundation Arts & Stars Gala in Detroit, Michigan.  It looks like it was quite an event but it also benefited a worthy cause – a portion of the evening’s proceeds went to the Music Hall, The Detroit School of Arts (DSA) and the YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit. 

I lived in a suburb of Detroit for a couple years and I know that this is a city that needs a lot of support from the more affluent people in the community.  I’m glad that NFL star Braylon Edwards found a way to give back (his father, Stan Edwards, actually played for the University of Michigan and the Detroit Lions).
