Michael returns to Brotman Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles for further treatment connected with the Pepsi commercial burn injury. He donates the compensation money he received from Pepsi towards the creation of a specialist burn unit.

The donation becomes part of the larger story of the Michael Jackson Burn Center at Brotman, tying the January accident to a practical medical facility for other burn victims.

This event also sits just days after the final Victory Tour concerts at Dodger Stadium, where Michael had announced major charitable donations from his tour earnings.
