Rachel Adopts A Family This Christmas Season

Urban Music Group News Release

Urban Music Group recording artist Rachel Brown understands the significance of the proverbial saying, “to whom much is given, much is expected.” That is why Brown, whose debut single reached #1 on the Billboard R&B singles sales chart, will donate a $250 Visa gift card to a special family this Christmas season in hopes of brightening their holiday.

Brown wants her “Every Little Bit Helps” campaign to bring holiday cheer to a family that otherwise wouldn’t be able to celebrate a nice traditional Christmas celebration. “Being with your family is wonderful during the holiday season,” states the chart topping singer. But for some families, being together and not being able to enjoy a nice traditional holiday meal or to have gifts for the children to open can dampen the holiday spirit. That’s why I wanted to do something, even if it’s a small amount, because with the economy the way it is right now I do believe every little bit helps.”

Through her website blog, Brown is asking all of her fans from across the nation to recommend families that are in need. She has a special committee that will read through the nominations and select the family with the most compelling story and present them with the Visa gift card on December 15th.

“I’ve been blessed this year,” states Brown. “I recorded and released my first CD, which was a dream come true for me. I was blessed to have a song that went #1 on the singles sales chart. I’ve been able to pursue my dreams full time, and I’ve got wonderful fans that have supported me along the way. So, I’m truly fortunate. Now, I want to give something back. I want to bless someone, just as I have been blessed. Most of all, I hope I can inspire someone to do the same, no matter how big or small because every little bit does help. I think that is what the spirit of Christmas is all about.”

Brown is a up and coming R&B singer/songwriter that has been lauded for the positive messages she delivers through her music। Her critically acclaimed debut CD entitled “Love, Life & Relationships” spawned the hit single “Let’s Fall In Love Again,” which rose to #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles Sales Chart in 2007।
