| David Foster's considerable musical talent is equalled only by his immense kindness and generosity. One of the most sought-after producers, David Foster has not only collaborated with artists of international stature, he has also promoted the talents of lesser-known singers. While his career has reached new heights, he continues to be a tireless supporter of charities that benefit children. Over the years, his foundation has assisted numerous families of British Columbia children in need of major organ transplants. In addition, he has been praised for his work on behalf of organizations that conduct research on cancer, leukemia and AIDS. This is a promotion within the Order. |
