It’s a sad day for those of you who loved Kris rocking his mustache! Kris grew the ‘stache in an effort to raise awareness for Music Education
through Donorschoose
but don’t get him wrong – he’s still passionate about the cause but has decided to shave. Want to see how the ‘stache removal went down?



Watch the video of Kris shaving his charitable hair growth after the jump.

To raise awareness for Donorschoose.org and Music Empowers (and for our
entertainment) Kris Allen is growing some facial hair for a good cause. Donate today to help keep Kris motivated and support the charity.



Kris Allen and Music Empowers once again are teaming up in support of music education for kids. For their latest effort the duo are partnering to provide a major grant to Donorschoose.org, the national online charity that matches individual donors to project requests fro teachers in public schools.
Funds provided by Music Empowers will be used to match contributions made by individual donors to eligible classroom music education projects. “Once individual donations total 50% of a music project’s cost, we will fund the other 50%,” explained Andy Davis, Founder of Music Empowers. Kris and Andy hope that their initiative will help to fund hundreds of projects and benefit over 10,000 kids.


A “Stache” for Kris?



Yep! In order to give his fans an extra incentive to help out, Kris has announced that for the next four weeks he will be growing a mustache. Don’t believe it? Check out Kris’s public service announcement, which is airing on television and check back here for “Stache” updates.

Little Pawns, the Official Kris Allen Street Team, is turning one this month! To celebrate, we'll be hosting a members only chat (where you'll no doubt be able to ask ALL your new album questions) with Kris on Monday, 10/27 at 10PM Eastern/7PM Pacific! All members are welcome, so if you want to participate, join Little Pawns!

Little Pawns was formed one year ago by a group of enthusiastic fans for the purpose of promoting Kris and his music, especially his 3rd single “Alright With Me.” Radio stations were contacted, emails and tweets sent, and flyers were made.

Their ambitious efforts did not go unnoticed and Team Kris soon asked the group to become official. Since that time, Little Pawns has been hard at work: recruiting members, promoting Kris whenever and wherever possible and laying the foundations in preparation to promote Kris's second album and next single

.
