Beyoncé Donates $82000 to Flint Water Crisis
According to the Detroit Free Press, Queen Bey has donated $82,234 to United Way of Genesee County in an effort to help residents of Flint, who have suffered and continue to deal with the city’s water crisis.
Bey didn’t stop there. She also awarded 14 Detroit high school students with “college gifts” to help with educational expenses and they were given tickets to this evening’s “Formation” show.
Funds were raised by BeyHive members who had the option to contribute to the Flint charity when buying tickets to the “Formation World Tour.” Chime for Change and CrowdRise were also part of the fundraising initiative.
