Dear Friends,

My friend Ms. Sheila E. has contacted me recently with an appeal on behalf of her charitable organization, the Elevate Hope Foundation. One of the beneficiaries of The foundation is the Lincoln Child Center, which has undergone severe budget cuts, and needs our support. Attached is more information on the center, and an appeal from She is also one of the most fearless women I’ve known. I recall a time on tour in Gothenburg, Sweden, back in 1987-88, when we’d all gone to an amusement park. The park was home to the world’s largest roller coaster (at that time.) Not one of the guys would get on the mammoth ride with me, but Miss Sheila E. said “sure, I’ll go!” Truth be told, I’m not sure which of us screamed louder! (Read more)

I will do everything in my power to help EHF in Sheila's behalf.I'm also one of the donors and support her charity work 100%.. Please tell Sheila a lot of people are not aware of EHF.....She set up some sort of Street Team with fans that are willing to participate and spread the word, distribute flyers, cards, whatever to make people aware... Some celebrities like Lisa Marie Presley rely on this system to promote concerts the same could be done to help these children and Sheila's cause..... Sheila is a priceless gem...

Why doesn't Prince help? Some friend he is!

Excuse me but this is not another one of your I hate Prince-type thread. This is request to help out an organiztion. You have evidence that he didn't help? it seems that this organization recently reached out so now Sheila E is spreading the word. How do you know Prince knew about this organization all along?

There is a roster of celebrities supporting the organization and I'm sure Prince has done his part. He might be a womanizer but he is a good person remember he is the one who encouraged Sheila to do her own solo work...
