I felt this was worth sharing on the Epikos Compassion Page.
The amazing "Elvis:Aloha from Hawaii" concert that took place in 1973, was the first of its kind ever and was seen by an unbelievable 1.5 billion people worldwide! It was also done in aid of the Kui Lee Cancer Charity, with each concert goer paying for their ticket with a donation of their choice. Elvis himself paid for his own ticket, giving $1000, which today would be $6000!! The anticipated donation amount total was $25,000, but an unbelievable amount of $75,000 was raised, that's $433,000 today! Elvis was always showing compassion to those in need. He never forgot about his humble beginnings in Tupelo.
