Bass Drive for Haiti
July 9th 2010 - Public Assembly, Brooklyn, NY
The motivation behind organizing this show is simple - The devastating impacts of natural disasters in developing/under-developed countries require huge cost and time to restore normal life. The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean has estimated that Haiti needs $11.5 billion in investment over three years to recover from the earthquake. A solemn sense of the magnitude of the relief efforts that will be required to restore normal life in Haiti motivated me to produce a show to benefit earthquake victims in the nation of Haiti. It is now our turn to step up and contribute towards a great cause. Thanks to all the generous people in bringing this event together. We are looking forward to a great evening to raise funds to bring food, water, medicine and supplies to thousands of families in an earthquake-and-poverty-ravaged nation and present what will surely be one of the greatest high-bass electronic shows of the year in New York.
The benefactor of all proceeds will be the International Rescue Committee (http://www.theirc.org/), which has relief teams on the ground in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. IRC is working with local aid groups to provide assistance to survivors, including food, shelter, and other necessary resources to thousands of families.
The show will begin at 10.00 p.m. We hope to see you at the show and don't forget to bring your friends and family to make this event a huge success.
