Rapper Kanye West is giving back to his kids in Chicago through his foundation. The “Stay in School” benefit concert helps children get an education.

The Kanye West Foundation
is holding its second Stay in School benefit concert on June 11 at the
Chicago Theatre in Chicago, IL. The charity’s mission is to help kids
to stay in school and combat high dropout rates across the country.
Tickets go on sale on May 21 and are priced from $49.50 to $500 for the
VIP Reception.

“I have always had the desire to help people and make the world a
better place. I believe that youth are the music for creating a world
filled with harmony,” said performer Kayne West in a statement. “To create such a world, however, we must all do our part.”

The Kayne West Foundation was founded in 2007 by the late Dr. Donda
West, Kayne’s mother, who died later that year. In 2008, Kanye West
announced the foundation’s honorary name-change to the Dr. Donda West
Foundation in memory of his mother’s philanthropic efforts. This is the
first major event for the foundation since Dr. West’s death, and Kanye
has donated his time for the event. [source]
