Pop star and all around glamazon Rihanna is set to perform at Barack Obama’s inauguration to benefit hunger relief charity Feeding America.
The Charity Ball is being thrown by The Recording Industry Association of America and will take place in Washington D.C. on January 20 - inauguration night.
“We could not be happier that Rihanna will be performing at the Inauguration charity ball to benefit Feeding America,“ Vicki Escarra, president and CEO of Feeding America told people.com. “Rihanna’s involvement will help raise awareness about the prevalence of hunger in America and help bring more aid to the 36 million Americans who do not always know where they will find their next meal.”
You don't have to be a pop star to help feed the needy, though. Add this Facebook application from Kraft and Feeding America and you'll automatically earn 6 meals for those in need. For every friend of yours that adds the app, another 6 meals will be provided.
Also taking place on inauguration night – January 20 – is a charity concert benefiting the Creative Coalition, a nonprofit public charity organized by the creative community to learn about pressing issues so they can better inform and influence the community and nation. Performing at the sold-out event are Elvis Costello and Sting, with appearances from Seal, Ashley Judd, Anne Hathaway, Susan Sarandon, Marcia Cross, and film director Spike Lee.
So many good things happening to celebrate a new era with a new President. We hear this will be the biggest inauguration ceremony in history - over 4 million people are expected to gather in Washington!
