AIDS has been around for more than 20 years and continues to spread quickly, though the outbreak in America is nothing compared to that in Africa. Thousands of people are living with the disease with no way of being cured. Keep A Child Alive Foundation was formed in an attempt to increase the action towards fighting away the growing pandemic by providing medicine to children and their families living with HIV/AIDS, and to raise awareness on the issue. Supporters of this organization include Bono, Ashlee Simpson, Coldplay, and Alicia Keys, who helped co-found the organization. On July 10, 2008, Keys held a gala in an effort to raise money for Keep A Child Alive Foundation. Some of the guests in attendance were Kelly Rowland, Mischa Barton, and Jennifer Hudson, who each paid over 2000 dollars to be apart of the event. In the end, almost 700,000 was raised for the charity.
