Fergie Pictures: Fergie Gives Back with the Peapod Foundation

See More... Last night was a big night for the Peapod Foundation. The Black Eyed Peas showed up and did a benefit concert, and shared their hearts about helping out the less fortunate.

Before the gig, Fergie told press, “Travelling around the world and seeing disease and poverty, for me it’s about giving back.” And she’s certainly giving back. Earlier this year, the group opened the Peapod Music and Arts Academy for kids in foster care/at risk teens.

BEP’s Taboo explained that he’s been trying to help out for quite some time. “We’ve been doing this since 1999 and it started with a toy drive for kids in Pasadena, but now we have all these artists coming to support us and it’s good because we give back to the community and now to all different countries. Next we’re probably going to do one in the Philippines and in Mexico.”

Along with the “Get it Started” crew, a there were a couple other celebrity appearances during the night. Velvet Revolver axeman Slash joined the Peas onstage, and Natasha Bedingfield even showed up for a performance. She revealed that she’s pulling for fellow Brit Amy Winehouse at the upcoming Grammys. “I really hope she wins, she deserves to.”
