On Saturday, Bruno Mars performed for a sold-out crowd at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan, and after his show, the 24K Magic singer announced his donation of $1,000,000 to help with the Flint Water Crisis.
Mars told the crowd that he and the show’s promoter, Live Nation, the concert’s proceeds to support the Flint Water Crisis, the Los Angeles Times reported.
“I’m very thankful to the Michigan audience for joining me in supporting this cause. Ongoing challenges remain years later for Flint residents, and it’s important that we don’t forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disaster. As people, especially as Americans, we need to stand together to make sure something like this never happens in any community ever again.”
Mars’ donation will go to the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, a public charity for the city.
