When Description Source
Aaliyah was scheduled to perform at a breast cancer benefit concert in October 2001, shortly before her death. Her family subsequently established the Aaliyah Memorial Fund, supporting breast cancer research and several other charitable causes. A portion of the proceeds from her posthumous album "I Care 4 U" also went to the fund. Source
Aaliyah grew up participating in community events organised by Detroit's Operation Get Down, which supported disadvantaged young people. Following her death, the organisation established a scholarship fund in her name to help students attend her former performing arts school. She also maintained connections with Detroit's schools and community. Source
