Sheryl Crow MLB charity concertWith Sheryl Crow headlining the MLB All-Star Game with a fundraising concert this weekend in St. Louis she sets to further back Major League Baseball’s prototion of President Barack Obama’s ‘United We Serve’ initiative as a part of a daylong celebration of baseball history.

 

“I’m from such an avid baseball-fan family, especially the Cardinals,” said Crow. “When we got asked to do it here, in St. Louis, that made it even more special. I have great memories of seeing summer bands under the arch. In fact, I was here in the ’70s when Elton John played under the Arch, and there was like 70,000 people here. So it’s an honor and a real privilege to get to do it for MLB and Stand Up To Cancer.”

 

The 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Charity Concert is a free concert will be help under the St. Louis Gateway Arch on Saturday July, 11th which it is just one of many charitable events leading up to the All-Star game. During which the MLB will donate $1 million to Stand Up To Cancer.

 

“We’re going to play a lot of songs that are very familiar to our fans or people who have had the radio on for the last 15 years, but we will play a few things that they don’t know,” said Crow, who sang the national anthem at last year’s All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium. “We also have a special guest coming that I would love to announce today but I’m not going to. Stay tuned because we have a wonderful performer who is going to make a very surprising appearance on stage with me.”

 

With the urge of United We Serve President Obama promotes volunteering this summer to help the nation’s economic recovery. Because when the economy is down and bailouts only serve to interest the corrupt corperations that purposfully ripped homeowners and travelers the economy will best be served with free work, I mean volunteering.
