Miley Cyrus, better known as Hannah Montana of Disney fame, will be hitting the road to raise money of City of Hope Medical Center and to promote her new album.
The recording artist pledged to donate $1 of every ticket sold to City of Hope when her tour kicks off on Oct. 18, according to a release from City of Hope. By the end of the tour, Cyrus hopes to raise $500,000.
Dena Hibbetts Gerardi, a Silver Lakes woman with ties to Barstow, will be admitted to City of Hope to receive a bone marrow transplant. Gerardi recently learned they had found a match for her and expects to receive the transplant by the end of October.
Cyrus and her father, county artist Billy Ray Cyrus, have performed on behalf of City of Hope before. In June, the two played at the City of Hope pediatric picnic in Los Angeles. They visited the pediatric wing of City of Hope in May.
Cyrus’s tour, “Best of Both Worlds,” comes to California in November. She will perform songs both as Miley Cyrus and her character, Hannah Montana.
