Want to donate money to the flood victims of Bihar, but don't know how?
Well, there are several NGOs working for the welfare of the affected already; there are government efforts in place as well. Now there's a new platform available for you to reach out to those affected by the Kosi-catastrophe - through the Rock On for Humanity concert, an effort initiated by the crew of the famed Bollywood movie Rock On in collaboration with BigAdda.
The 3-hour Rock On for Humanity concert is scheduled to be held on 31st of October 2008 in Mumbai where some of the best talent in the country will perform, namely Pentagram, Parikrama feat. Saif Ali Khan, Shankar-Esshan-Loy feat. Kunal Ganjawala and Shaan, Raghu Dixit, Something Relevant, Pin Drop Violence, Dream Out Loud, Them Clones, Shaa'ir & Func, Farhan Akhtar, Kailasa & Avial.
The concert donar passes are available at bookmyshow.com for Rs. 250 and Rs. 500.
The money collected through the sale of tickets for the concert will be used to build a Medical Camp for children and new born infants who are in dire need of attention. This will be done in partnership with the Nargis Dutt Charitable Memorial Trust, says the disclaimer.
