American Idol 2010: ‘Idol Gives Back’ Returns In April
After taking a break last year, “Idol Gives Back” will return for its third run this season. The special will air during the Top 7 results show on April 21, and all proceeds will be donated to Children’s Health Fund, Feeding America, Malaria No More, Save the Children, and the United Nations Foundation.
“This is our opportunity to reach out and support the people of America and around the world who need our compassion and generosity to improve or even save their lives,” said Simon Fuller, Idol creator. “America will undoubtedly prove once again what a remarkable and generous nation it is. For American Idol to be able to facilitate this kind of initiative makes me very proud.”
Last year’s American Idol winner Kris Allen is currently traveling with the United Nations Foundation to Haiti to raise public awareness of the plight of it’s people. Allen will also perform on next week’s “American Idol” results show and share footage from his trip.
