Bolton continues to devote much of his time and efforts to drawing attention to domestic violence, personally dedicating resources to enlist others to “raise their voices for zero tolerance on the issue.” Since 1993, the Michael Bolton Charities has disbursed millions to organizations across the country, including The National Domestic Violence Hotline in Texas, Prevent Child Abuse in Illinois, and Yale Child Study Center in Connecticut, to name a few. “It has been extremely gratifying meeting, befriending, and working with people who also feel that giving back and helping people less fortunate than ourselves is simply the right thing to do,” Bolton says. He plans to continue his invaluable work with the organization for as long as he can, he says, “hopefully until it is no longer needed.”
