A tireless humanitarian, Knight is an iconic supporter of the Boys & Girls Club of America. She just recently donated a Randy Jackson-produced song, "The Dream," to motivate youths to fulfill their dreams, raise awareness of the need for BGCA, as well as create a way to support the non-profit through iTunes purchases. In the song itself, the choir singing along with Knight was comprised of members of the Bronx-based Kips Bay BGC, the same one that superstar and BGCA national spokesperson Jennifer Lopez grew up in.

This past May, Knight – who is famously known for her Grammy-winning hit "Midnight Train to Georgia" – joined Amtrak to host the 4th annual National Train Day in Washington, DC's famed Union Station. As the national spokesperson, Knight helped commemorate the 142nd anniversary of the transcontinental railroad's inception withlive entertainment, interactive and educational exhibits, kids' activities, model trains and tours.
