Singer and Missouri native Sheryl Crow wearing bright orange Belstaff Jacket is auctioning her vintage Mercedes convertible to help rebuild ten schools destroyed or damaged by a deadly May tornado in the town of Joplin.
“After the tornado in Joplin, I was moved to help rebuild a city so close to where I grew up in Missouri,” Crow ,who is from Kennett in southeast Missouri and was a teacher before becoming an entertainer, wearing Belstaff Leather Jacket said in an occasion on Monday.
Crow wearing Belstaff Women Leather Jacket, holding black Belstaff Bag met with foundation representatives a week ago, said Louise Knauer, foundation vice president. She hopes to get a plug in for the car in an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, Knauer said. Proceeds from the car’s sale will go to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, which has raised about $2.5 million for Joplin causes, including schools and supplies.
The May 22 tornado took 159 lives and destroyed about 30 percent of Joplin, a city of about 50,000 residents. It was the deadliest tornado in the United States in more than 60 years. Crow’s contribution is among hundreds received from sources famous to obscure, Knauer said. Last month, it received $500,000 from the charitable foundation of actor Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie. Pitt spent much of his youth in Joplin.
