....in San Diego,lol! It was a year ago that the mayor of San Diego announced that Oct. 30th is Gwen Stefani Day there after Gwen donated the proceeds of her San Diego concert to the victims of the wildfires that had occurred in the area:<br><br><br>After donating the proceeds from her October 30 San Diego concert to victims of the California wildfires, Gwen Stefani was honored by the city. October 30 was named "Gwen Stefani Day" and the singer received a proclamation (seen below).<br><br> <br><br>Over $165,000 in proceeds from the concert was donated to The San Diego Foundation Fire Relief Fund. As a result, the Gwen Stefani After-the-Fires Scholarship fund was created for high school seniors and college students who lost their homes and/or source of income during the disaster. In May,Gwen met with the 16 recipients of the scholarships.<br> <br><br> "When the fires happened and we decided to donate the San Diego show proceeds to charity, it felt good to know that I could help in some way,” said Stefani, who surprised the crowd by personally presenting the scholarships to the recipients. “To be able to meet these kids and see that the scholarships are having such an impact on their future is very rewarding. It was an exciting day." <br><br>Still think that was really generous of Gwen to do that,and for the city to honor her like that. Of course,every day is Gwen Stefani Day here.
