Justin Bieber has asked fans to "give back" with his Believe charity drive and now two sisters, Kelsee Casagrande and Alexx Mowbray, are following his mission. When Beiber performed his "Home for the Holidays" concert at Massey Hall in Toronto, Alexx, 14, was invited on stage to sing with Bieber and even better, Bieber gave her an autographed guitar!
Alexx said, "So many memories. It was just a life-changing experience." It all started when the girls tried to win an online contest to attend the concert
When they finally managed to get two tickets, their seats were blocked by a Christmas tree. But the security guards took pity on them and showed them to the stage area. Alexx recounted her experience with Bieber,
"Then he sang Never Say Never...He asked for a girl to come on stage."
Kelsee, 19, came to her sister's rescue. "I was like 'hey, Alexx over here," she said.
"And Justin said 'OK come up here' and my heart dropped...He pulled me to the stage, led me to his stool...We sang the rap part together and I did most of it," said Alexx. "He finished the song, he was singing to me and holding my hand...He gave me a hug."
After their duet, Bieber pulled out a signed guitar and gave it to Alexx.
But despite their emotional attachment to the guitar, the girls decided to sell the guitar and give the proceeds to charity. "There's people less fortunate than us that need it more than we do," Alexx said. Kelsee added, "We'd like to sell it for a good chunk of money. It's a one of a kind, signed and it's (labeled with) Under the Mistletoe, too."
The sisters plan to give the money to Bieber's Believe charity drive, as well as the Sick Kids' Hospital in Toronto and a food bank in Bieber's hometown. "The two say they've been in discussion with Ellen Degeneres's talk show, and Bieber's management team about helping promote the sale. If that falls short, they'll likely auction it off on eBay and hope to raise thousands of dollars in the effort."
Kim Mowbray, Alexx's mom, shared her thoughts on the girls' decision. "I thought Alexx would want to keep it forever. They want to give a little back to charity, and it makes me very proud," she said.
