Live Tonight: Top Artists Perform in "Hope for Haiti Now" Benefit Concert
Friday, January 22, 2010
Over the past week, citizens and organizations from around the world have rallied around Haiti, offering tremendous aid for the relief effort currently underway. But even though tens of millions of dollars have been raised online via sites like YouTube, Haiti's road to recovery will be long, and more financial support is desperately needed.
That's why tonight, in partnership with a variety of media companies, we're live-streaming "
Hope for Haiti Now
," a benefit concert for earthquake relief. Hosted by George Clooney, Wyclef Jean and Anderson Cooper, the event will feature performances by Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Shakira, U2, Coldplay, Taylor Swift and many more.
The concert starts tonight at 8 p.m. ET on
www.youtube.com/hopeforhaitinow
, and it will be available to a global audience. Donations from the event will go to a number of different organizations, including the
Red Cross
,
UNICEF
, the
UN World Food Program
,
Partners in Health
,
Yele Haiti
and
Oxfam
. After the show, you can continue to donate money and get the latest information coming out of Haiti at our
Crisis Response landing page
.
