Destiny's Child was a Grammy award winning American R&B group. Originally a duo and later a quartet, the group eventually became a trio.

David Foster and his daughter Amy Foster-Gillies wrote Destiny's Child's last single Stand Up For Love for World Children's Day, an event which takes place annually around the world on November 20 to raise awareness and funds for children's causes worldwide. Over the past three years, more than $50 million has been raised to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities and other children's organizations. Destiny's Child lent their voices and support as global ambassadors for the 2005 program.
