Shamed singer Chris Brown will reportedly donate proceeds from his latest tour to a charity as he continues to try to reform his public image.
The 20-year-old is set to headline an event that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to help and mentor people with intellectual disabilities in Florida.
And he will also donate portion of proceeds from his tour as well as volunteer to help out Best Buddies International, according to reports.
Despite Brown’s recent high-profile conviction for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Anthony Shriver, who is part of the Kennedy clan and heads the charity, said he deserves a new chance.
In a email, he wrote: “I support Chris Brown’s efforts to show the world why he deserves a second chance, given that the commitment he has made to Best Buddies - not only to perform at our Miami Gala, but also to join the Best Buddies family as a volunteer - is a huge step in the right direction. I also appreciate Chris’ generous offer to donate a portion of proceeds from his tour to Best Buddies.
“I believe Chris’ fans will be equally inspired to support Best Buddies’ mission… once they see his enthusiasm and commitment to the cause - and just how much his efforts mean to our participants.”
The non-profit gala will take place in Palm Beach on November 20.
