Albertina Walker has a long history in gospel music and is known as the "Queen of Gospel" for her longevity in the spiritually-uplifting genre.

But she does more than sing about what she believes. Each year, Walker hosts a fundraiser for The Albertina Walker Scholarship Foundation for the Creative and Performing Arts, which offers scholarships to college students studying music.

The benefit was held last week at a church in Chicago, which happens to be her hometown. According to the Chicago Defender, gospel artists Beverly Crawford, Smokie Norful, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Percy Gray & Joshua's Troop, Darius Brooks and others performed during the benefit.

Just because the show is over, however, doesn't mean that donations aren't being accepted.
