Help Haiti Live
February 12, 2010 | Compassion International, Faith: Knowing Christ
Doyou love music? Love children? Here’s a way you can tune in to some of the best Christian musical artists and help thousands of children in Haiti.
If you visit here often, you know that I’m a big fan of Compassion International. I would stand on street corners and tell strangers about this organization.
One, because my family is privileged to sponsor a beautiful little girl named Buli.
Two, because I’ve traveled with Compassion and seen their work up close and personal.
One month following the 7.1 earthquake that struck Haiti, an all-star cast of musicians is gathering for “Help Haiti Live,” a two-city ticketed concert event taking place on February 27th, 2010 to benefit Compassion International’s Haiti.
Alison Krauss & Union Station (featuring Jerry Douglas), Amy Grant, Big Kenny, Mat Kearney, Jars of Clay, Rebecca St. James, NEEDTOBREATHE, Brandon Heath, and a special headliner will rock it out in two concert events, live from Los Angeles at the historic Wiltern Theater and at Nashville’s famed and Gaylord-owned Ryman Auditorium.
All talent and production fees have been donated, along with streaming services (Livestream.com), allowing proceeds to go toward Compassion’s disaster relief fund.
Tickets for each event will range in price from $25-75 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster locations beginning Monday, February 15th, as well as through The Ryman box office: 800-745-3000 or http://ryman.com and through Live Nation for The Wiltern at http://www.livenation.com/venue/the-wiltern-tickets
All net proceeds from Help Haiti Live will go to Compassion International’s Haiti disaster relief fund. All money raised in response to the Haiti earthquake will be used immediately to re-equip Compassion’s local support structure and to provide for the immediate needs of Compassion-assisted children and families.
Already Compassion International has supplied more than 15,000 families with clean water, food, blankets, temporary shelter, medical supplies and counseling. Donations will lay bricks, feed, educate, clothe, heal and rebuild Haiti for many months to come.
