Barry Manilow is giving back to the community. According to Newsday, the Grammy-winning crooner donates a piano to the Uniondale school district on Long Island, New York for students to play. He encourages others to do the same.
The 71-year-old singer who is performing at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale on Friday will give away two concert tickets to anyone who makes a donation of a new or gently used instrument. He says music is "a vital part of a child's education."
The donation is part of Manilow Music Project to benefit music programs in public schools. Uniondale Superintendent William Lloyd appreciates what the singer did and hopes it will encourage more people to help schoolchildren "build character to achieve success."
