121212 THE CONCERT FOR SANDY RELIEF (http://www.121212concert.org/)

Robin Hood has launched a large-scale relief effort to aid our neighbors in the tri-state area whose lives have been shattered by Hurricane Sandy. Within hours of the storm, Robin Hood-funded non-profits were providing blankets, hot food, heaters, generators and more to residents in Red Hook, Coney Island, the Rockaways and all across the region.

Now, one month out from the storm, thanks to our supporters, Robin Hood has been able to provide over $8 million in grants to more than 90 different groups.

Thanks to the generosity of concert organizers, sponsors, and Robin Hood's board of directors, every single penny from ticket purchases and donations will go to the best community organizations serving the victims of Hurricane Sandy through the Robin Hood Relief Fund.

Is there a list of organizations the funds are going to?  'Cause if the Red Cross is on that list...

Watching it now! Thanks for the heads up Thor!

Thanks Thor!
I'm watching it myself.  I thought Adam Sandler's 'Hallelujah' parody was hilarious.

I just got home and the Stones are on now.

Has Waters been on yet?

(TOLD ya Waters was always down for Benefits!  :P )

Yeah, Waters came on right after Bruce.

I'll catch it on the replay.

What did he play and was he in good form?

Thor - is there a live counter I can watch to see how much is coming in?


I'm riding the same high I get every time I see an aid concert. It makes me glow.  :D

Another OOPS!

And another reason why so many significant contributors have left ATS.

No empathy for anyone or anything that does not directly benefit Los Tres Amigos.

Sorry we posted here...
don't worry -
when we produce EARTH AID -
ATS and company will not be a part of it -
as if anyone here gives a damn about anyone else...

What a glorious day for STO last night was!

I'm still smiling when I think of it.  ;D

Well done Thor, defying the iron fist of the apathetic folks at that other house!

With the number of broadcasting stations internationally that were on the list for the concert, I cant see how a huge forum like spooks would back down from joining in on the effort.

Every station that aired the show had viewers locked in for 5 hours, and benefitted in every way. Why wouldnt someone who posted it on their forum want to share that opportunity with their members?
geesh!

Thanks for placing it here, Id have never known due to my avoidance of all TV activity.

Cheers!
