Kanye West to perform at benefit for late mother’s foundation

The Kanye West Foundation (KWF), founded in 2007 by the late Dr. Donda West, was established to help combat the severe dropout problem plaguing America’s communities. It is through the collaboration of community and corporate partnerships that the 2nd “Stay in School” Benefit Concert, taking place at the historic Chicago Theatre on Thursday, June 11th, was born. This is the first major event for the Kanye West Foundation since the 2007 passing of its founder Dr. Donda West, the mother of Kanye West.  It is also the first concert Kanye has performed in the city of Chicago in over a year. The concert will be taped by Fuse, the national music network, and will air later this summer. Benefit concert tickets went on sale Thursday, May 21st.  Tickets for the VIP Reception and can be purchased for $500 at www.ticketmaster.com.
