Stars Help Charity Organizations Celebrate Birthdays

Charity Organizations News: The American Cancer Society believes that everyone deserves to have his birthday recognized.  In addition to being “the official sponsor of birthdays,” the American Red Cross is also at the forefront of crowdfunding efforts that strive to educate minorities on their risks for cancer.  April is Minority Healthy Month.  In honor of the celebration, Boyz II Men has agreed to reach out to others with their own version of “Happy Birthday.”

The Grammy award-winning R&B group joins the long list of noted African American and Hispanic artists in raising awareness in ethnic minority communities.  The group also feels it is important to inform people about the American Cancer Society and the great strides it has made in battling an often incurable disease.

“We’ve all been touched by cancer through family members, friends and our fans,” said Boyz II Men singer Nathan Morris.  “When we learned that cancer continues to take a greater toll on the black community than on other ethnic groups, we felt compelled to lend our voices to the American Cancer Society to help the organization in its fight to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.”

Partnering with Charity Organizations

The “Happy Birthday” campaign went into effect in September of 2010.  Since then, the following people have given their talents to help people through song, helping various charity organizations: Fishbone, Fitz & The Tantrums, Ricky Martin, Jordin Sparks, Aaron Neville and Gloria Gaynor, Rihanna, Darius Rucker, Usher, Sean Kingston, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and actor Craig Robinson.
