Idol Give's Back

One of the most popular television shows American Idol isn't all about singing contestants. Each season Idol Gives Back. American Idol raises money for different charities. It is one of the most inspirational shows of the season. Celebrities, organizational leaders and America join a helping hand to the less fortunate across the world. Last night on the show we saw footage of the children in Africa that are suffering from HIV, AIDS, Malaria, starvation and other deadly diseases . One African girl they highlighted was 9 years old and weighed that of a one year old, she was HIV positive and both her parents had died from HIV, this poor little girl was only given a couple of weeks to live. But with all the wonderful donations from America a few months later she had gained weight and had medical treatment she is now doing much better. It is amazing how a little can go a far way.

American Idol has been doing Idol gives back for a couple years now from last years show alone they raised over 15 million dollars. All the donations go to different charities including The Children Health fund which was founded in 1987 by Paul Simon and pediatrician/advocate Irwin Redlener, MD, Children's Health Fund (CHF) is the nation's leading pediatric provider of mobile-based health care for homeless and low-income children and their families. CHF's mission is to bring health care directly to those in need through the development and support of innovative medical programs, response to public health crises, and the promotion of guaranteed access to health care for all children.

Other charities are Save the Children, Feeding America, Malaria no-more. Save the Children has teamed up with schools to help children who live in poverty excel at reading and education. Malaria No More has helped millions of families in Africa protect themselves from malaria in Uganda, Zambia, Angola, Madagascar, Mali, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In addition, generous sponsorship of IDOL GIVES BACK from ExxonMobil helped Malaria No More strengthen country capacity and improve the delivery and use of malaria interventions in Africa. Together, we can make malaria no more. All these foundations are changing our world and helping the unfortunate. Please go to the link check it out and decided if you'll give back....
