Michael Jackson's sister La Toya is helping his charities
La Toya Jackson,
sister of the late Michael Jackson, says she is
continuing some of the King of Pop's
charity work and was among several celebrities who attended the recent
Macy's Passport Glamorama event to
raise cash for childhood illness, cancer, and HIV/AIDS research. "Ever since my brother passed, it's a very important situation for me because I wanted to follow some of the charities he was involved in," the 54-year-old told
OnTheRedCarpet.com. "So I'm continuing that on."
Macy's Passport Glamorama has raised over $34 million for charities in Minneapolis, Chicago, San Francisco, and L.A.
Michael Jackson's mother Katherine, 80, recently filed a lawsuit against AEG Live, saying the concert promoter caused her son's death by pushing him to rehearse for a series of comeback concerts despite his poor health and because it allegedly hired Dr. Conrad Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to his charge of involuntary manslaughter regarding the King of Pop's 2009 death.
Michael Jackson died at age 50 on June 25, 2009 at his Los Angeles home from an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol and two other sedatives that were prescribed and administered by Murray.
Meanwhile, Jackson's children Prince Michael Jackson, 13, and Paris Jackson, 12 recently started attending a private school in a Los Angeles suburb after a lifetime of homeschooling and going out in public while wearing veils. His third child,
Blanket, who is 8, has said he is not ready to join them, La Toya Jackson told OnTheRedCarpet.com earlier this month.
