‹ Bath Time Fun • Dr. Pat’s Health Tips: Ban the Bottle…or the BPA? ›
The Black Eyed Peas held their fourth annual charity concert at the Avalon in Hollywood, where they, together with some of their famous friends, raised money for charity.
Specifically, they raised money for their Peapod Foundation, which provides aid to underprivileged children while also introducing them to new musical and technological programs. The Black Eyed Peas have supported numerous causes by giving free concerts and taking part in volunteer projects.
They focus not only on children’s causes here in the United States, but across the globe, such as a benefit concert for tens of thousands of people living in rural South Africa, after which they vowed to combat global issues affecting kids, particularly orphaned, foster and impoverished children.
Their funky style has brought attention (and raised funds) for children of all races — fitting for a group as diverse as the BEPs.
