Singer

Beverly Sills is known the world over for her acting skills. More than three decades passed, entertaining the audience with his beautiful voice and presence on stage. But Sill has another talent, one that is less well known. As National Chairman of the March March 'Mothers' March for birth defects, Sill has helped raise more than $ 70 million over ten years. Frequently meeting the parents of children with birth defects and visiting children in hospitals, Sill chose to choose his position to raise funds for the organization. Sills' reasons for dedicating himself to the cause of overcoming the birth defect come from his children, Muffy and Peter. Within two years, Muffy was diagnosed with severe hearing loss. A few months later, Peter was found to be mentally ill. After learning these disturbing truths, Sill left the stage to take care of her children. In time, and with the encouragement of her husband, Peter Greenough, she resumed her singing career. Also, when she was given the opportunity to work with Mom in March on Birthday, she caught that and has been working long hours to eliminate birth defects in all children.
