The Domino Effect (concert)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Domino Effect in New Orleans on May 30, 2009 was a tribute concert celebrating the life and influence of Rock and roll legend Fats Domino. A portion of the proceeds were to benefit the Brees Dream Foundation, bettering local playgrounds and outdoor recreation sites for the children of New Orleans.[citation needed]

Fats Domino is working with NFL quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints to raise money for the foundation’s "Operation Kids: Rebuilding Dreams" campaign, which supports education and mentoring programs as well as rebuilds athletic fields and parks. To date[when?], the Brees Dream Foundation has donated over $1.6 million to various efforts supporting the New Orleans community.[citation needed]
