Birthday Mention, Article About Clay at American Idol Online


A "Happy Birthday" wish and a great article are both featured on the home page at AmericanIdol.com The article, posted by Marnie, takes you through a quick trip of Clay's accomplishments since American Idol. Clay's work with children with special needs and UNICEF is highlighted in the article:

Even more impressive than Clay's achievements in the music industry is his tireless dedication to the causes that are near and dear to his heart. He created the Bubel/Aiken Foundation in 2003, accepted a UNICEF ambassadorship in 2005, and, in 2007, he was appointed by George W. Bush to a committee that acts in an advisory capacity to the President and the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. The committee acts on matters pertaining to programs and services for persons with intellectual disabilities. Clay's reason for creating the Bubel/Aiken foundation was a personal one, as he worked with Diane Bubel's son, Michael, who has autism. The foundation helps to integrate children with disabilities into the same environment as their non-disabled peers. As he states on his Myspace page, "You know, my mother has always been someone who urged me to help people in need. Maybe thats it. I dont think its something you can learn. Its just something you do."
Check out the rest of this article for yourself. Some really great things are said about Clay and there are three pictures showing his "transformation" from AI tryouts to AI Season 5 Finale!
