One of the best things about Michael Jackson was his enormous heart and the way he used this tremendous talent to help those in need and try to bring change to the world.
It would be an absolute tragedy if we let Michael's message of love, compassion, and good will towards others to die along with him.
I came up with some ways for fans all over the world, to celebrate his birthday, while at the same time making a positive impact and showing how much Michael meant to us and inspired us.
Let's honor Michael's memory and keep his legacy of humanitarianism alive!
