Justin Timberlake Gives Back to Hometown

On March 20, singer/performer Justin Timberlake donated a total of $200,000 to both the Rock 'N' Soul Museum and the Memphis Music Foundation in his hometown of Memphis, TN. His donations will go towards educating students about music, and will allow them to take interest in playing music. Timberlake showed up with his check unexpectedly at the museum, where John Doyle, the director of the museum, was pleasantly surprised and grateful for the singer's generosity. Timberlake has always been very involved in charities and in reaching out to help children get the chance to learn about music. According to Doyle, "he has never stopped giving back to the community, to the local music industry, and to young people." Timberlake is so talented and well-rounded, with being a singer, dancer, songwriter, designer, actor, and founder of the Justin Timberlake foundation. I think it is great to see famous people such as himself giving back to their community and showing interest in people other than themselves; it gives them a positive image and a reason for children to look up to them as role models.
