SouthernGirlAM Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Normally, we post Music For Relief news in the MFR section, but we felt this was worth mentioning on the Newswire. As most of you know, Typhoon Morakot struck and devastated the country of Taiwan earlier in the week, just days before Linkin Park was set to play today, August 13th. As a part of the relief effort, LP along with MFR made the decision to donate proceeds from today's Taiwan concert to benefit those affected by the disaster. Below you can find the full release as it was posted on musicforrelief.org. Additionally, if you want to help those affected by the disaster and donate to the cause through Music For Relief, click here. Also, it was noted that Linkin Park and the opening acts dedicated songs and/or spoke words to the Taiwan fans during the show who were more than likely impacted by the storm, including Chester. Video of his shoutout can be found here. LINKIN PARK DONATES PORTION OF CONCERT PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT TYPHOON VICTIMS August 12, 2009 "Linkin Park, working with MFR, is donating a portion of proceeds from their Aug 13 show in Taipei, Taiwan to benefit victims of Typhoon Morakot. Typhoon Morakot struck Taiwan as a tropical storm earlier this week with winds of over 70 miles an hour. According to news reports, the damage has been devastating, with more than 10,000 dwellings toppled and hundreds trapped, possibly dead, as a result of mudslides. The funds will be contributed to World Vision Taiwan and their relief and rehabilitation efforts. In addition to being part of the evacuation effort, World Vision has distributed food, cleaning supplies and relief kits to hundreds of people living in emergency shelters in Taimali Township and Jiadug Township in Taiwan. World Vision is an international relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.
