Alicia Keys and Roc Nation came to the rescue of a 7th grader who’s raising money for a NYC school’s performing arts program … and she’s a lot closer to doing that now.
The kid had a high goal of $102,000 — which would help keep the Performing Arts Program open — even if only for a little bit longer. Alicia — who attended the school — caught wind of the fundraiser, along with the rapper’s entertainment company, and decided to intervene … chipping in a whopping $60,000 toward her goal.
Alicia and Roc Nation’s contribution adds to money they’d already raised … around $50k.

She added … “We still talk about her legacy every single day.”
