Read this MJ Charity Fact…
On Christmas Day, 1972, in Los Angeles, California, the 14 year old singer and the Jackson 5, dressed as Santas, make their appearance at a foundation, to visit and offer presents – on behalf of their record company, Motown – to 700 underprivileged children. During that season, the Jackson 5 perform some Christmas songs during a benefit concert at the “Foundation for the Junior Blind” for 1000 visually impaired children.
So MJtheBest.com did some investigating…
We found an article in Ebony Jnr where they write an article/interview on the Jackson 5. J5 talk about the above charity event. Read Below…

This is an expert from the middle of the article… “Anyone who knows about The Jackson Five should know that the popular singing group sells many records and therefore, earns large sums of money. The brothers could easily afford to show their love for family and friends at Christmastime by spending their money on expensive gifts. But The Jackson Five know well enough that money can not buy friends. They also know that a warm and friendly smile can often better express their love for others than an expensive gift. Each of the Jackson brothers is very menoly and engoys meeting their fans. They enjoy doing benefit shows.”

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Thriller, Ebony magazine slapped Michael Jackson on their December cover and somehow managed to get him into the middle of Brooklyn for a photo shoot at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
Top of the list in any conversation about Michael Jackson is sure to include all the freakish things he’s done to himself, surrounded himself by, and has allegedly done to others. For a couple of years Michael Jackson was every comedian’s softball joke. Easy laughs.
In the magazine interview Michael Jackson was asked how he feels about being labeled as ‘Wacko Jacko,’ Elizabeth Taylor, kid toucher, *pointing at a crushed Twinkie on the floor* “Hey, what’s that!?” .. What’s what?.. “Nothing, I thought it was your nose.”
Michael, comment?...
“I don’t pay attention to that. In my opinion, it’s ignorance. It’s usually not based on fact. … Every neighborhood has the guy who you don’t see, so you gossip about him. You see those stories about him, there’s the myth that he did this or he did that. People are crazy!
When you’re on top of your game, when you’re a pioneer, people come at you. … But I feel grateful, all those record-breaking things, to the biggest albums, to those No. 1s, I still feel grateful.”
