American Idol "Gives Back"

On April 24 and 25, Fox, American Idol and CPEF, came together to do a two night special to help raise funds and awareness for U.S. organizations that focused on delivering health and education resources to children and young people in poverty in the U.S. and Africa.
On the 24 the top six finalists sang songs that were about "Life". After the performances viewers were able to call or text message their vote for their favorite performance. With every vote, American Idol sponsors like Coca Cola and AT&T, along with other sponsors, donated money to CPEF.
Then the two hour special results show on April 25 was an evening full of world-renowned artists and celebrities who took the American Idol stage.
