The Stage is Set for the Tsunami Relief Charity Benefit February 11 2005 Featuring Some of LAÂ’s Up and Coming Musicians and Artist and Designers.
Keter Entertainment and 8teen Atik urge businesses of the Los Angeles area to not only remember the Tsunami victims, but to remember non profit educational charities in the local community that also need assistance with issues, not caused by a catastrophic event.
(PRWEB) February 4, 2005
In response to the horrific tsunami event on December 26, Los Angeles.-based entertainment companieÂ’s, Keter Entertainment and 8teen Atik are joining many other entertainment groups in the area in donating portions of charity fundraiser to benefit the tsunami victim relief efforts. However, Keter Entertainment and 8teen Atik urge businesses of the LA area, and beyond, to not only remember the tsunami victims, but to remember non profit educational charities in the local community that also need assistance with issues, throughout the year, not caused by a catastrophic event, that are just as harmful and important and occur in everyday life right here at home in our own backyard.
Throughout the year the 8teen Atik staff spends time researching non-profit educational foundations to partner with in order to give back to the community, and makes efforts to assist the LA area that fight cancer, help children, and support human rights.
8teen Atik Chief Operating Officer, Brad Dean, states that, “When businesses engage the community in a campaign, the cause is given more public awareness, substantial funds are usually raised – much like the attention the tsunami disaster has been given.”
“However, we shouldn’t forget about the community that surrounds us everyday,” Dean states, “giving, to any good cause, is what sharing is about.”
Keter Entertainment and 8teen Atik, two Los Angeles companies dedicated to supporting and educating potential and emerging artists, intends to sponsor expression events that provide artist opportunities to work, create, exhibit, and sell their art. This event is the inaugural bi-monthly launch event dedicated to showcasing some of Los Angeles hottest musicians, designers and artists. Lisa Bass, the co-organizer and CEO of Keter Entertainment, suggested the idea to participating artist who overwhelmingly supported the benefit out of deep respect for those in need.
The public will be able to contribute to the Tsunami Relief initiative by accessing the International Medical Corps, http://www. imcworldwide. org (http://www. imcworldwide. org). IMC is a global organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through relief and develop.
