On Monday, the singer’s representatives announced her entertainment and management company, Parkwood Entertainment, presented the United Way of Genesee County with a check for $82,234 on Monday. According to the Detroit News, the funds were raised by Beyonce fans who opted to contribute to the Flint fund while purchasing tickets for her Formation tour.
