Whitney Houston will be performing at the annual Caudwell Children's Legend Ball on Thursday, May 8, in London. The event will be held at the Battersea Evolution and hosted by the charity ambassador David Gest. Caudwell Children is a British non-profit which focuses on donations to special children for medical treatment, therapy, specialized equipment, and dying-wish holidays. The charity has been working towards its goals since 1999 and has made over 2,000 donations to families with disabled children.
Last year’s ball featured Tina Turner and the event raised over $2 million. In addition to Whitney Houston’s performance this year, cinema legend Jane Russell will also make an appearance, as will other celebrities such as Piper Laurie, Angie Dickenson, and Tippi Hedren. The charity’s annual ball “…has become a not-to-be missed event; a star-studded night of glitz, glamour and out-of-this-world entertainment…”
I beleive this article is PR related for a couple reasons. The first being, there will be several celebrites that will perform at this event which always increases the amount of attendees as well as makes a great article for a person in communications to review. The second reason is because there is such an emphasis on chilren's healthcare now with the St.Jude Chilren's charities and the Atlanta Children's healthcare and many others. This is a great event for the public to either participate in, donate to or to read about.
