Jamaican superstar Shaggy (Orville Burrell) and “King of the Dancehall” Beenie Man (Anthony Moses David) have been making a difference in children’s lives through their art. Earlier this year, Shaggy and his group of friends held a charity concert to buy much-needed equipment for the Bustamante Hospital for Children. They are now preparing for the second charity event. The 2010 charity concert, “Shaggy and Friends I Dare You 2010,” will be held on January 2 at Jamaica House.
Shaggy and his team, sponsors, employees of Bustamante Hospital, and Beenie Man were at the hospital for the launch of their next charity concert. ” A smiling Shaggy made an early appearance to greet his now extended family for the concert that last year raised J$27 million.
This year, according to presenter Dr. David McBean, CEO of CVM-TV, the concert organizers and sponsors’ aim is to raise J$50 million. With that goal in mind, various sponsors have stepped forward. Several businesses and banks have already pledged funds. Digicel, KFC, Sagicor, Stewart’s Auto, Bank of Nova Scotia, and Wisynco have together donated 11 million Jamaican dollars. Red Stripe has also pledged its support alongside a number of other companies.
