SAN DIEGO, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Grammy Award-winning
singer/songwriter Gwen Stefani announced that proceeds from her Tuesday
night October 30th, concert in San Diego at Cox Arena will go to local San
Diego charity the San Diego Foundation (http://www.sdfoundation.org), to
benefit victims of the recent catastrophic area fires.
Stefani made the announcement this morning on local radio station 93.3
KHTS with San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders. Said the native Southern
California girl, "San Diego has always been so supportive of me throughout
my entire career...living in Orange County it has always been like a second
home to me. When I heard about the devastation of the fires at first I felt
I should cancel my show out of respect but then it occurred to me there
might be a more useful solution."
San Diego mayor, Jerry Sanders added, "We applaud the generosity of
Gwen Stefani in dedicating her upcoming concert to support The San Diego
Foundation's After-the-Fires Fund 2007, which will help The Foundation help
San Diego. I have been heartened by the many who have come forward to
assist us in the fire relief effort, and we thank Gwen Stefani and her fans
for supporting the fire recovery and rebuilding across San Diego."
Stefani is winding down her worldwide "The Sweet Escape Tour," with
stops this week in Tucson, AZ (10/29), Stockton, CA (11/1), Oakland, CA
(11/2) and Santa Barbara, CA (11/3).
