The Justin Timberlake Foundation donates $100,000



Justin Timberlake donated $200,000 from his foundation



 



Justin Timberlake has his own foundation, rightfully titled The Justin Timberlake Foundation, which focuses on trying to keep music programs alive. Which I think is a great idea cuz music is definitely food for the soul.

Recently, his foundation donated $100,000 dollars to the Memphis Music Foundation and $100,000 to the Rock 'n' Soul Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. 

"Music education and keeping the legacy of Memphis Music alive has always been important to me," Timberlake said in a statement. "That is why I will always continue to support my hometown the same way they have always supported me."

The Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum  will utilize the gift to further achieve its mission of "telling the story of Memphis  music and perpetuating its legacy" and to advance music education for students throughout Shelby County.

"Like musicians around the globe, he has always recognized the musical magic of this city, and he has never stopped promoting it," said Doyle. "He has never stopped giving back to the community, to the local music industry, and to young people. The museum is honored by his generosity, honored by his recognition of the museum's message, and honored that he is from Memphis."
