R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo is giving back to underprivileged youth in Las Vegas this holiday season with a special performance on Monday. The event will be held at Las Vegas’ Doolittle Community Center in conjunction with the singer’s nonprofit organization, the Compound Foundation will host a private gathering with more than one thousand economically deprived and at risk youth in the city.

The performance is part of the organization’s “2nd Annual Holiday Giving Tour.”

In 2007, the Compound Foundation was founded by Ne-Yo and his business partner, Reynell Hay. After a successful beginning for the Compound Foundation, the I.C.H.T. (IT’S COOL HAVING TOOLS) program was developed to help low-income students living in group home facilities and foster care prepare for school, by supplying the tools necessary for a successful school year.

The I.C.H.T. program also works to provide scholarships, internships and skills building and post graduation training for junior and senior high school students as well as 1st and 2nd year, college or trade school students. The Compound Foundation is committed to ensuring that low-income students, particularly students in the child welfare system, have the tools needed for successful and productive lives.

Ne-Yo was raised in Las Vegas.
