Mariah Carey at VH1 Save The Music Foundation’s 10th Anniversary Gala in Lincoln Center on September 20, 2007 in New York City. The Save the Music Foundation, which donates instruments to public schools and helps fund music education programs, honored Carey.

Mariah Carey said it only made sense to work for the Save the Music Foundation because music saved her.
