David Archuleta Performs for Children’s Hospital
American pop singer-songwriter David Archuleta kicked off the holiday season in Dallas by taking part in a 22-year tradition, the Children’s Medical Center Holiday Parade.
Archuleta contributed to the parade by singing a special number while riding on the ‘Sounds of the Season’ float.
The Children’s Medical Center Holiday Parade, presented by Capital One Bank, is an annual holiday tradition for families. Archuleta was chosen to lead this year’s parade with five special Grand Marshals – featured patients from Children’s.

Being a patient at a hospital can be really tough, especially during the holiday season. Spending time with these kids is a simple way to help and there is nothing like seeing a smile on their faces,” said Archuleta.

On Friday, Archuleta wowed audiences with a special holiday concert at the Majestic Theater in Dallas presented by 103.7 Lite FM. Proceeds from the concert went to Children’s Medical Center.

Good luck to all those children facing hard times having to deal with medical/health issues. I am happy to know this young artist, David Archuleta, understands the importance of giving back to society and is genuinely caring for others less fortunate. Hope they raised a lot of funds. Thanks for the article.
