Cosby Holds Concert to Benefit
the MaliVai Washington Kids Foundation
Bill Cosby, one of America's most esteemed comedians and entertainers, will visit Jacksonville this spring to hold a benefit concert for the MaliVai Washington Kids Foundation (MWKF).
Proceeds from the one night show will support of MWKF's Capital Campaign. Cosby is well known for his support of charities around the country. His presence here is sure to have a lasting impact on the lives of many of local youth that need it most.
"We are thrilled to have Mr. Cosby as a supporter of the Foundation," said MaliVai Washington, founder and president of MWKF. "I'm a big fan of his, and we appreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule to recognize our efforts to support the youth here in the Jacksonville community."
Since before the days of I Spy, Cosby has touched lives by producing Grammy Award winning comedy albums, playing Dr. Huxtable on The Cosby Show, writing children's books and remaining supportive of youth throughout the country. His generous support of education has provided many Americans with the gift of hope and learning.
Mr. Cosby, once said to be America's favorite dad, has the uncanny ability to connect with his audience as he relates humorous messages with reflections of ordinary life as an undertone. This gift to impart humorous anecdotes about life experiences that effect us all, makes him one of the most likeable and believable personalities of our time.
Cosby has had an unparalleled career in television and has sold more albums than any other comedian, which has helped to make him one of the most influential performers of the 20th century. His blockbuster books have sold millions of copies. Cosby's success in front of and behind the camera truly place him in a class all his own.
