Beyonce putting on event to help Flint
The
superstar singer is putting on a "special signature event" in Detroit
that will serve as "a celebration of the resourcefulness of the people of
Flint and Detroit, Michigan," according to her camp.
The
Flint fund-raiser was announced in conjunction with Beyonce's partnership with
three global charities for her Formation World Tour. United Way, Chime For
Change and Global Citizen are all working with the singer's BeyGood foundation,
which oversees her philanthropic efforts.
"The
Formation World Tour creates another exciting global opportunity for people
everywhere to BeyGOOD, pay it forward and lend support to those in need," Ivy McGregor, who runs BeyGood's
day-to-day operations, said in a statement. "Through our
collaborations with our strategic charity partners, we've created simple ways
for everyone to participate. Because we believe together we can make the world
better -- standing, living and giving in Good Formation."
Fans
are being encouraged to give online through CrowdRise, by getting involved with
United Way activities or signing up on site to be a part of Chime For Change
and Global Citizen, which will give them a chance to win tickets and concert
upgrades.
It's
not the first time Beyonce has reached out to Flint, whose residents had their
water contaminated with lead pumped into their homes after the state of
Michigan in 2014 switched the city's water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint
River, a tributary notorious for its filth.
In
February, BeyGood and the United Way announced they would be distributing
filtration pitchers, faucet mount filters and truckloads of water to residents.
