With Just One Voice, a Foundation Is Born!

It all began on September 6, 1986 when Barbra Streisand decided to give a backyard benefit concert at her home. In an audio-taped invitation to an exclusive list on invitees, Barbra said, "I must sing again to do what I can to insure a safer and better world." To date, her "One Voice" concert has raised an amazing $8 million (from the actual concert, television rights, and album & video sales). To properly channel these funds where needed, the Streisand Foundation was born. Over the years, the Foundation has made grants in excess of $15 million to various political, environmental, and social causes in which Barbra believes deeply. Barbra's steadfast contributions through the Foundation over the past two decades have been a boon for many organizations which might not otherwise have had these critical financial resources available to them. So on this twentieth anniversary of the Streisand Foundation, the first time DVD release of "One Voice" (September 12), along with Barbra's upcoming nationwide concert tour will generate even more funds for distribution through the Foundation. Give the little lady a great big hand.
