He’ll be returning to the “American Idol” stage tonight, but Kris Allen will be doing more than just performing- he’ll be raising awareness and funds for the earthquake victims in Haiti.

The “American Idol” champ looked to be enjoying himself thoroughly as he took the stage at B.B. King’s Blues Club at The Mirage Resort Hotel and Casino.
