The Five for Fighting singer has a history of promoting charitable causes, and tonight, he’s headlining a benefit concert at Baylor University. The concert will raise money for the people of West, Texas, following last night’s devastating explosion at a fertilizer plant.
Additionally, Ondrasik has pledged a $5000 donation from his charitable site, WhatKindOfWorldDoYouWant.com:
