MAKING WAVES

-

Bruno Mars is donating $1 million to the victims of Flint’s water crisis, the singer announced at a sold-out concert Saturday night in Auburn Hills, Mich. The crisis began in 2014 when the city’s water supply was switched, leading to high lead levels. “I’m very thankful to the Michigan audience for joining me in supporting this cause. Ongoing challenges remain years later for Flint residents, and it’s important that we don’t forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disaster. As people, especially as Americans, we need to stand together to make sure something like this never happens in any community ever again,” he said in a statement.
