Seal and Paul Anka will headline David Foster's star-studded charity gala on Saturday in Edmonton, Canada.
The concert aims to raise at least $4 million for Canadian families with children in need of major organ transplants, with attendees paying between $15,000 and $50,000 for a table of 10 people.
Foster has a long history of charitable efforts to help children. In 1997 he was honored with the United States Children’s Choice Award for his work supporting research into children’s cancer, leukemia, and AIDS. In 1986, he established the David Foster Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides financial and emotional help to the families of children needing organ transplants. In 2006, Foster auctioned a piano signed by over 60 celebrities to raise money for his foundation.
Saturday’s concert will take place at the prestigious Winspear Centre For Music in downtown Edmonton. It follows a similar gala held in Calgary in 2007 that raised $3.3 million for the cause and featured Lionel Richie, Peter Cetera and Sinbad.

I was a huge (still am) a huge fan of SEAL. He has one of those voices that just hits a nerve and has such a beautiful spirit to it. I think he’s amazing, been through so much and inspires!! I heard of his recent acoustic set that he did with David Foster and so I googled it and found it here and wanted to share with other loyal SEAL fans!! Definetly watch it, and share with other fans. I am sure we can spread the word on this. He needs to come back full force, we’ve missed him so much!!!
Enjoy!! =]
