Kanye West might be cocky and self-centered, but he really does care about giving back. Especially in memory of his mother, the late Dr. Donda West.
In fact, the Kanye West Foundation, which was founded back in 2007 by his mom, will now host its 2nd Stay In School Benefit Concert next month in Chicago. The intention is to help bring awareness and prevent kids from dropping out of school.
Lending his support, Kanye will be performing at the event, set to take place June 11th at the historic Chicago Theatre in Chi town.
Oh, and even better news for students in Chicago. For those kids who demonstrate improvements in attendance and/or grades in their last quarter of school this year, they’ll receive free tickets to the event!
Sounds like a nice bribe incentive to us. Whatever workd!
They’ll even get the chance to meet Kanye.
If you’d like to attend, tickets go on sale this Thursday via TicketMaster and will range from $49.50 to $500 if you want the VIP Reception.
And, if you miss it, no worries, you can still donate online. The concert will be taped by Fuse TV and aired at a later date.
Good on you, ‘Nye!
