JAN 29: TSUNAMI BENEFIT GALA (CANCELLED)
Note: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED, but might take place at a later date.
"Please join the American Red Cross and your fellow thespians, business owners, civic leaders, and Los Angelenos from all walks of life to show that we can all come together on January 29, 2005 for the benefit of one goal - to help those devastated by one of the worst natural disasters in modern times. California is ranked as the 5th largest economy in the world and we believe that this city-wide fundraising effort will demonstrate how quickly we can work together for the benefit of those in need.
"The American Red Cross, in partnership with the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, is rushing to provide specialized relief and financial assistance to Asian countries suffering from the devastation. Donations received thus far have already supplied several tons of food and drinking water, thousands of hygiene kits, family kits, kitchen sets, tents, healthcare items and more than a dozen disaster relief specialists to help those in need. Ongoing support will be critical to aid the millions who are struggling for survival in the wake of the destruction and potential spread of disease.
"To that end, we have organized the Los Angeles Tsunami Relief Benefit concert to benefit the American Red Cross International Response Fund. This multicultural concert will be held on January 29, 2005 at the Scottish Rites Masonic Temple on Wilshire Boulevard, featuring live celebrity entertainment from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
"Our team is committed to assisting the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles to raise the funds needed for the Red Cross to continue providing immediate emergency relief as well as long term relief and preparedness programs for the tsunami victims.
"Dress code: Red Cross arm-bands.
Entertainment: Live (it’s a surprise, but you can ask).
Food: Delicious, exotic and hearty.
Spokespersons: American Red Cross representatives.
Celebrities: Those who decide that they are serious about lending a helping hand. (TBA)
"Your help is urgently needed and appreciated. Thank you for your participation. For additional information, please contact:
