LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 8, 2011) – Come join John Legend as he speaks about his journey to ignite social change around the world at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4, in the Singletary Center for the Arts. This event is sponsored by the Student Activities Board.
After reading the book, "The End of Poverty," Legend was inspired to visit Ghana to learn more about making life better for others. This is when his philanthropic mission began and when he started The Show Me Campaign in 2007, a campaign calling his fans to help him in his initiative for those who live in Bossaso Village, Somalia. Since then, Legend has played a key role in Gap’s (Product) Red campaign, GQ Magazine’s The Gentlemen Fund and has been honored with many awards and recognition for his philanthropic work.
Students, faculty and staff can pick up a free ticket with a valid UK ID at the Singletary Center ticket office weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. General public tickets are $10. Contact the Singletary Center Box Office at (859) 257-4929 or email summer.gossett@uky.edu.
