Bands That Give Back

This lens was created to represent all the bands and performers that have found success, but did not forget their roots or their community. Please submit any one that you feel uses their talents to raise public awareness for needy causes.

True Rock Stars

With hectic schedules and adoring fans...there are many people that do not let stardom cloud their caring hearts. Over the years there have been many concerts that have raised funds for needy causes and in 2008 bands still continue to help with many charitable organizations and I feel they deserve a bit of mention. It's wonderful when people have the resources to give back and go out of their way to do so. It's a message to us all.

Squidoo Rocks

The Virtual Concer Contest

Virtual Concert Week on Squidoo 
Music to Raise Money = A Good Time By All

U2 talks about the One Campaign in every concert they have. Coldplay talks
about Oxfam International. A stage with thousands of screaming adoring fans is
a good time to promote a good cause.



Remember "We Are the World"? Farm Aid? Band Aid? All hosted to raise
money for causes. How? Bands got together to perform, raise awareness and
donate money. What a great idea!



Summer is concert season. It seems like all bands go on tour. Nothing like
live music on a warm summer night!



What if you could host a benefit concert? You have a cause that's important to
you. What better way to have it announced than by your favorite performer in a
room full of people who paid big bucks to get there?



This is the point of the Virtual
Concert Week on Squidoo
.



Who would you pick and what cause would you raise money for? Make
a lens
and tell us about it!
