R&B Superstar Ne-Yo and his Compound Foundation will host a Mother’s Day Brunch Serenade to honor thirty foster and twenty single metro Atlanta mothers for Mother’s Day.
Grammy award winning Def Jam recording artist and writer Ne-Yo and his Compound Foundation announced plans this week to host a Mother’s Day Brunch Serenade to honor 50 metro Atlanta foster and single mothers.
The event is being held to encourage, celebrate and reward these mothers for the all that they do each and everyday. The special brunch will be held on Sunday, May 11th.
“We hope to bring attention to state of the foster care system in America and to honor mothers that deserve recognition. It is very easy for this group to get lost in the system and ignored because they are not troubled or dysfunctional; they are normal and super normal,” “They wake up each morning and go about the day’s activities selflessly; sometimes forsaking their own needs,” said Ne-Yo, who’s real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith. “We want them to know we care and that we recognize their efforts,” said Reynell Hay. Ne-Yo’s Compound Foundation is part of the Compound Entertainment music label formed in partnership between Ne-Yo and business partner Reynell Hay.

THAT IS AWESOME!!!! what a great thing to do. My aunt was a foster mother and yes those kids were a mess! Some of them had so many problems and were abused and lashed out for every little thing.
I give Neyo(or his management/PR people) major props for doing this. Whomever idea it was i got mad respect for them

I commend him. Foster moms, yes, single moms, lets examine further. Single mom because…………this is like the guy who wants credit cuz he takes care of his child. NEWSFLASH:YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO. I’m not taking anything from any single mom, hell no, of course not. Foster moms, the grandmoms raising the kids for their children, etc….serenade them.
