Bono Philanthropy
Paul David Hewson was born May 10, 1960 in Dublin, Ireland. Popularly known as “Bono,” he is the lead vocals of U2, one of the most influential and renowned rock band in the 21st century. Bono is admired both within and outside of the music industry.
As a rock star, his music with U2 has earned him legions of devoted fans across the world. Right from his early months with U2, Bono refined a reputation for being able to connect with fans on several levels during the band’s performances. Bono is also humanitarian and crusader for the world’s poor. Bono’s rare ability to effectively straddle the spheres of both entertainment and politics remains rivaled by few in the realm of popular culture.
Bono is the co-founder of organizations such as DATA and the ONE Campaign. In early 2005, Bono, his wife Ali Hewson, and New York-based Irish fashion designer Rogan Gregory launched the socially conscious line EDUN in an attempt to shift the focus in Africa from aid to trade.
