“The award, named after its first recipient, Ella Fitzgerald, goes to singers whose contributions to the music world are equaled by their dedication to humanitarian causes and community support.” That’s why she’s received the award. not just because of her albums sales, but because she’s also a patron of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Most people don’t realize she’s dedicated to that and other causes.
