Keys and Ronson Raise Money
Singing sensation Alicia Keys and Brit producer Mark Ronson have teamed up to raise money and are signed up to appear in London to act as hosts for the Annual Keep A Child Alive Black Ball. The event is set to take place on June 15th at London’s Roundhouse. Joining Keys and Ronson at the Ball will be Tinie Tempah, Paloma Faith, and many more that have yet to be announced.
The first Annual Keep A Child Alive Black Ball was held in 2004 in New York. The New York and London events combined have raised more than $13 million with proceeds going to support HIV/AIDS victims located in Africa and India.
Keys Continues to Raise Money to Save Children
This is not Keys’ first appearance at the Black Ball. Keys has previously appeared onstage with Annie Lennox, Bono, David Bowie, Sade, Youssou N’Dour, Jennifer Hudson, Gwen Stefani, Jay-Z, John Mayer, Usher Justin Timberlake, Kathleen Battle and Chris Martin in New York to support the charity organizations.
“Each year, Keep a Child Alive gathers extraordinary guests in a night promised to be filled with surprises and special moments” said Alicia Keys, who is also a Keep a Child Alive co-founder. “I LOVE the Black Ball! I’m proud to raise awareness and funds for this most important cause to help families in Africa and India affected by AIDS and HIV. This issue is undeniable – how can we ignore it? It’s our responsibility as human beings to come together to save lives and care about each other.”
