Justin Bieber Wins The $20,000 Donation For His Favorite Charity & Usher’s New Look Wins A Donation.
Two of the world’s most fundamental pleasures are the act of giving and the enjoyment of music. So, as the Billboard Music Awards celebrate the year’s most successful songs, artists, and albums, we’re also looking to generous hitmakers — none other than Justin Bieber, Usher, Jordin Sparks, and Nelly Furtado — to share their thoughts on what charities are closest to their hearts and what makes them feel good. But talking and action are two different things. So we wanted the fans to help one of these artists earn $20,000 for their favorite charity — and enter for their own chance at a big prize: a trip to the Billboard Music Awards on May 20 in Las Vegas — all courtesy of Billboard.com and Magnum Ice Cream.
All four stars have reason to be proud: fans turned out in droves to weigh in on which cause should win the donation, and each got a lot of love from voters. Now, the votes have been counted and it’s official:
Thanks to you, Justin Bieber’s charities, Pencils of Promise and Make A Wish will share the $20,000 donation!
Additionally, each of the other stars’ favorite charities — Jordin Sparks’ I’m M.A.D. Are You,
Usher’s New Look Foundation, and Nelly Furtado’s choice Free The Children — will receive a donation from Magnum Ice Cream and Billboard for sharing their missions.
