Join us February 8, 2024 for our 23rd Help Clifford Help Kids celebration, benefiting American YouthWorks, featuring a fantastic performance by music legends, The Temptations Review featuring the legacy of Dennis Edwards!

Dennis Edwards was a part of Motown’s first Grammy award for “Cloud Nine.” His gritty vocals were showcased on the Billboard hit singles “Psychedelic Shack”, “Runaway Child”, “Ball of Confusion”, “I Can’t Get Next to You”, “Papa was a Rolling Stone” - all smash hits and still sampled by artists today.

Dennis Edwards in association with The Temptations (Otis Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin, and David Ruffin; whom he replaced in 1968), earned 16 platinum albums, 53 Billboard hits, 8 Grammy Awards, and induction into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Your generous support provides education, career training, and support services for young people. Proceeds from Help Clifford Help Kids benefit American YouthWorks, an Austin-based non-profit organization founded in 1975, that connects young people with educational opportunities, college and career guidance, and supportive services such as food and transportation assistance, counseling, and job readiness skills development - all at no charge to participants.


Help Clifford Help Kids benefiting American YouthWorks was founded in 2001 by Clifford Antone and Robin Shivers, along with their good friends Cathy and Rob Lippincott. They were dedicated to helping youth and young people in the community.
