Down to Earth Clay Promotes Inclusion

Dressed in Nike running shoes, navy blue cargo shorts and a lilac-colored polo-style shirt, pop star Clay Aiken was a hit again on Saturday. This time, though, the former contestant on Fox-TV's American Idol was not singing, but planting trees and laying fresh mulch at Hollywood's Lincoln Park alongside a group of student volunteers. "It's amazing to see the kids with disabilities and without disabilities working together," said Aiken, who is a former special education teacher. "Everyone is different and functions at a different level, but can still work together." Click here to read more!



Measure Of A Man - Charity, Then Music
Posted Pamela on Monday, April 11 2005 at 12:04 PM PDT
For Clay Aiken, the measure of a man is more than an album title. It's defined by the deeds one can do under the spotlight. The most successful singer to emerge from American Idol -and he didn't even win- hosts Florida Voices for Change, a Saturday evening benefit dinner in Fort Lauderdale for his organization, The Bubel/Aiken Foundation. During the $200-a-ticket gala Aiken plans to sing Paul Simon's Bridge Over Troubled Water with students from Miami's Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School. Click here to read more!
