Stevie Wonder's House Full of Toys
Since
I was in middle school, one of my favorite artists has been Stevie
Wonder. What I like about him, besides his music, is his push for the
use of technology for the disabled, the visually impaired in particular.
Every year he has a concert called "Stevie Wonder's House Full of Toys
Concert Benefit" to raise money for toys as well as ask concert-goers to bring toys to the event.
The House Full of Toys Benefit Concert was
first launched in 1996 at the House of Blues in Hollywood. The concert
benefits the We Are You Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization,
that helps numerous charitable organizations such as Junior Blind of
America, West Angeles Church of God and Christ, Hermosa Beach Officers’
Associations and over 80 agencies. In addition to financial assistance,
the foundation provides charitable gifts like toys, computers, talking
watches and other electronic aids/devices.
This will be the 7th
year in a row Stevie Wonder will host his House Full of Toys Benefit
Concert at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE. Previous participants and performers
include: Alicia Keys, Angela Winbush, Brian McKnight, Faith Evans,
Deborah Cox, Robin Thicke, Tommy Davidson, Earth, Wind & Fire, and
many more.
