Aerosmith's Steven Tyler Launches Janie's Fund For Abuse Victims

(hennemusic) Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has launched Janie's Fund, a new initiative with Youth Villages to provide services to girls who have endured neglect and abuse.

Inspired by the feedback to his 1989 Aerosmith song, "Janie's Got A Gun", Tyler says the ability to raise much-needed money and awareness to address the trauma of sexual abuse in children and to expand these services to aid even more girls has been a lifelong dream of his.

"As a father and grandfather," says Tyler, "I want to focus my energy on things that really matter and leave behind something else in this crazy world along with my music. I am starting Janie's Fund to give a voice to the millions of victims who haven't had one and encourage everyone to join me on this mission."

Janie's Fund launches with a historic 54 days of impact - running from November 8 - the 26th anniversary of the release of "Janie's Got A Gun", through the end of the year. Read more here.
