Clay Aiken: Using His Voice
Clay Aiken is always saying "Use Your Voice" and he does. If you read his book "Learning to Sing" you know that he used his voice back when he was a counselor for the YMCA to fight for including children with disabilities into the program. That led to the creation of the Buble/Aiken Foundation in 2003. The foundations "Champions of Change" gala is this coming weekend and it's the perfect time to review the many ways Clay Aiken has used his voice and donated his time to make a difference in the lives of others these past 5 years.
Oh yeah - he sings too.
