Grammy Award-winning singer Alicia Keys raised more than $2.4 million for Keep a Child Alive charity at a benefit concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Sept. 30 in New York.
Friends of the star turned out to support the very-pregnant Keys, including Sade and Jay-Z who joined her onstage to perform her hit “Empire State of Mind.” Other stars who showed up to support her were hubby Swizz Beatz, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Usher, Clive Davis, Jennifer Hudson, Janelle Monae, Jay Sean and Roland Martin.
Proceeds from the benefit concert will go directly to the KCA to benefit families affected by HIV/AIDS in India, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa and Rwanda.
