I've been a supporter of the Bubel/Aiken Foundation for almost six years. I haven't seen the press release yet, but I understand that its name is being changed.
Clay Aiken--co-founder and Chair of the foundation that provides education and other resources for promoting the inclusion of children with disabilities into programs with their "typical" peers--has long said that he wanted the Foundation to be sustainable without the need for his celebrity spotlight.
I've sent in my share for a place at the table at the October "Champions for Change" gala. Their good work will continue to need our support, no matter what they call the Foundation! I champion them, I champion their change.
(Now I only wish I could steal all their good ideas to help my own organization, the World Future Society. Stay tuned....)

Hosaa,
It would be super to have the media run headlines for the BAF--when the new name is released! We can hope!
Good luck with your new foundation!
Thanks for your visits & comments to Clay the Man--and the neat comment at Always Amazing on YouTube. Glad you enjoyed it!
A good day to you :)
Yes, Clay Aiken has been saying for a couple of years that he and Diane wanted to rename The Bubel/Aiken Foundation to something without their names.
I too have supported it form many years. They do amazing work.
And besides... I think it would be a really good thing for them to come up with something else that isn't continuously mispronounced... or associated with 'a different artist'...
