Patti LaBelle sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" 2007

This is Patti LaBelle singing at the 2007 Angels In Adoption Gala in Washington, DC (September 2007). Senator John Salazar awarded me with the national award for my work with advocating for foster children.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
The Angels in Adoption Gala is the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institutes (CCAI) signature public awareness program which provides an opportunity to all Members of Congress to honor hundreds of individuals who selflessly work to improve the lives of thousands of waiting children seeking permanent, loving homes in the United States and around the world. This program includes an annual event in Washington, D.C., the Angels in Adoption™ Gala, which is geared toward highlighting ordinary people doing extraordinary things. In addition to these unsung heroes chosen from all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. National Angels are recognized for their adoption and foster care advocacy on a broader, nationwide scale. Former National Angels include notables such as First Lady Laura Bush, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Willis, Jane Seymour, the late Dave Thomas, and Daunte Culpepper. The Angels in Adoption Gala is the years single most significant Congressional event pertaining to child welfare in the United States.
