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.

Those in the U.S. who would like to contribute to the typhoon recovery efforts can do so via a mobile donation of $5 by texting RELIEF to 90999.

Typhoon Morakot struck Taiwan a week ago. The storm is estimated to be the worst typhoon to hit the region in more than five decades, with high winds, flooding and landslides. It is estimated that more than 500 people have been killed and millions have been impacted.

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.
