U.S. Winehouse foundation launches

Winehouse foundation launchesThe parents of Amy Winehouse launched the U.S. branch of a foundation named for their daughter at Manhattan's Joe's Pub, where the embattled pop star made her American debut five years ago, The Associated Press reports. The Amy Winehouse Foundation -- aimed at assisting disadvantaged youth -- raised $1 million dollars in the United Kingdom, Mitch Winehouse said at Wednesday night's event. He says in the United States the organization will focus on children "without access to music education and music therapy." The family announced a donation of $10,000 to the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra.
