GOSSIP: Black Eyed Peas Raise $$$$ for Charity!
Fergie got the Black Eyed Peas together to put on a benefit show in Josh Duhamel‘s recently flooded hometown of Minot, North Dakota and raised $1.3 million for relief efforts!
The money went toward the much needed Minot Area Recovery Fund which is bankrolling the town’s rebuilding efforts after flood waters forced 11,000 residents out of their homes in June.
Duhamel showed his appreciation for his wife’s band on Twitter after their performance Sunday, tweeting:
“A HUGE thank you to @iamwill, @TabBep, @apl_de & #Fergie for their incredible act of kindness for doing #MinotRising. North Dakota loves you.”
Will.i.am. responded warmly with:
“@joshduhamel i.am proud to support #MinotRising…this is what its all about…’Americans helping americans’ one neighborhood United States.”
