Tragedy strikes every day and it is up to people to helps those in times of need get through it all. Grammy nominated song writer Emerson Hart of the alternative rock band Tonic is teaming up with Music for Relief for a campaign that will provide lifesaving aid to survivors of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines via nutrition programs, water and sanitation, psychosocial support, and replacement and repair of health infrastructure. Music for Relief was founded by the band Linkin Park in response to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Since inception in 2005 Music for Relief has raised over $6 million for survivors of multiple disasters across four continents including Hurricane Katrina, China’s Wenchuan earthquake, a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe, earthquakes in Haiti and Japan in 2010 and Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
For donating to this wonderful cause, through online platform Rallysong, all will receive a free exclusive download of Hart’s new song “Hurricane”. Along with that all, those which donate will be entered for a chance to win a hangout with Hart before his next show. The goal is set to raise $10,000 and the more someone pledges the better their chances are of winning and the bigger the impact for Music for Relief. The campaign ends at 11:59 p.m. PST on July 28th, 2014. Take part in the campaign here.
