Help From Houston: Miley Cyrus To Perform At Christmas Charity Event

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 12:30:00 -0000

Miley Cyrus is set to perform at the annual Christmas Cheers and Charity Party hosted by Houston attorney Mark Lanier.

The event will benefit Guatemala SANA, an organization that develops programs to address issues ranging from healthcare and education to the nation’s environmental concerns. For the 7,000 to 8,000 guests lucky enough to receive an invitation, there is a request as well; attendees are asked to bring items from a “wish list” of possible things to donate, ranging from basic supplies to cash for larger materials such as blackboards and septic tanks for schools.

Lanier explained the motivation behind his mission, telling the Houston Chronicle that “We’re trying to get them clean water. We’re trying to get them good schools. And we’re trying to give them the supplies they need to get an education.”

Next month’s event will not be the first time Miley has lent her time for a good cause. The Hannah Montana star recently celebrated her sixteenth birthday with a charity bash at Disneyland to benefit the volunteering organization Youth Service America.

Anybody planning to visit Disneyland in California on October 5 will have to pay a little bit extra than usual… but don’t worry, it’s all going to charity.

Hannah Montana’s Miley Cyrus is to celebrate turning sweet 16 with a massive birthday bash at the famous themepark, and the young star is inviting fans to join her by paying $232 to raise money for charity.

“The best part of the party is we’re going to recognize some really cool kids from Youth Service America who are giving back to their community,” said Cyrus. “That’s so awesome because I think it’s really important for kids like us to volunteer.”

Ticket numbers to “Miley’s Sweet 16 – Share The Celebration” are limited to 5,000, and the event will feature a wide range of activities to allow guests to join in the celebration of Miley’s magical milestone. Special Party Zones will highlight the music and fun of Hannah Montana with themed activities and entertainment, and the party will end with a massive fireworks display.

“I only turn 16 once, so it’s going to be an awesome party with my favorite rides, hanging out with friends, fireworks and more,” she said. “I’ll even get to sing a couple songs.”

Youth Service America – who will benefit from the event – is an organization that seeks to improve communities by increasing the number and diversity of young people, aged 5 to 25, serving as volunteers. The young star hopes that other young Americans will be inspired to volunteer in their own hometowns.
