August 3, 2003 – Aaliyah’s mother, Diane Haughton, during Dior Dance for Life to Benefit the Aaliyah Memorial Fund, a Program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation at Private Residence in Bel Air, California

So many were in attendance. Including Brandy, Ray J, the then unknown Kim Kardashian, Kidada Jones, Damon Dash, Christina Applegate, Tre Major, Tracee Ellis Ross, Macy Gray, Quincy Jones, Gwen Stefani, Victoria Beckham, Jordana Brewster, Orlando Jones and many more.

DID YOU KNOW: that after Aaliyah died. Diane was so grief stricken that she refused to come out of her home. Quincy Jones was the only one (of all the family and friends who attempted) who encouraged Diane to come out and get some fresh air.

RIP Quincy Jones

March 14, 1933 - November 3, 2024

ON THIS DAY Saturday, OCTOBER 27, 2001

B.R.E.A.T.H.E Breast Cancer Benefit Concert 2001

Aaliyah was scheduled to perform live on stage with three-time Grammy winner Seal at Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, California. I wonder what songs they arranged to perform together? What a duet that would have been, and for a good cause.

Seal had just met Aaliyah 2 weeks prior (In August 2001) when they got together to talk about which songs to perform at the event.

“You meet and touch somebody and then, two weeks later, they’re dead. I kept thinking: ‘It’s just a dream. I’m going to wake up in a bit.’ But she isn’t here,” Seal said. “It’s really sad. She was so young and with such a promising future.”

Seal would go on to perform with Stephan Jenkins (of Third Eye Blind); Jenkins told LA times that he "cried like a baby" after hearing of Aaliyah's death.

Rashad Haughton presented a $41,000 check donation (from the Aaliyah Memorial Fund) to the event prior to Seal and Jenkins taking the stage.

The money raised at this event was donated (in Aaliyah’s name) to the Revlon/UCLA Breast Center and New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Performances at this event included: Crazy Town, Deftones, Jurassic 5, Lil’ Kim, Nikka Costa, Run‐D.M.C., Seal, Sugar Ray, and Third Eye Blind.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 

(October 1st thru October 31st). In recent years, incidence rates have increased by 0.5% per year. Visit: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/index.htm for more details, statistics, and how to watch for symptoms.

DID YOU KNOW: Breast cancer is most often found in women, but men can get breast cancer too. About 1 out of every 100 breast cancers diagnosed in the United States is found in a man.

“Well, it’s important to me because it touches my family; my grandmother and aunt passed of breast cancer, and so it’s a personal thing for me”.
