Make Yourself Foundation provides aid to disaster victims

10/08/09

Following the natural disasters overseas, the Make Yourself Foundation has donated $10,000 to each of the following three charities - Mercy Corp (Indonesia), UNICEF (Samoa) and GlobalGiving Foundation (Phillipines). In a message posted to their blog earlier this week, the MYF said the following:

We feel compelled to make a donation to organizations that are assisting the rescue efforts for all three of these natural disasters. This money was raised by you, the fans, and we feel like making a donation to these regions is something you would want. We recently spent some time in the Philippines and it breaks our hearts to see the wreckage and loss of life.

Please click these links to see how you and others can help in Indonesia, Samoa and Philippines.

NOTE: If you make a donation through the above sites, please fill out the optional "designate your donation" line. We want to make sure the organizations know what your donation is for specifically - earthquake in Indonesia, typhoon in Philippines and tsunami in Samoa.

We wish all those affected a swift recovery, and we will be thinking about you.

This wonderful group of men, merely boys, but men of the true world, nonetheless, have taken it upon themselves once again to soothe an affected nation in its time of heartbreaking events.
So mote it be, that the funds that INCUBUS has donated to these caring, helpful organizations will be multiplied to the nth degree by the true and valued supporters of this band and the causes that they bring to light. As well as the causes you personally yearn to push toward thier goals and beyond.

To the band:
Your music DOES not only drege the way for change, but it pushes your fans (for lack of a better term tonite) want to help you change the world one note at a time.

--
There is no substitute for uninhibited, raw, sincere talent.

How noble

It's refreshing to see the outreach of musicians in times of hardship. Pay it forward. Two thumbs up. A good friend of mine lives in the Philippines. Thankfully, he wasn't affected by the flooding. Love your music by the way. grants for single mothers

Hi there Brandon/Mike/Jose/Chris/Ben,

On behalf of my countrymen here in the Philippines, we sincerely thank you for donating that huge amount of money to GlobalGiving Foundation (Phillipines) which will do a great help to all our countrymen who were affected by the 2 typhoons.

I was personally pleased by your move to make this type of contribution because this only proved the kind of "big heart" you have to all Filipino people.

Reassured that we will continue supporting your music and spread them to our generation today. Keep making good music and melodies to all your fans all over the world.

Stay safe and healthy so we will still be able to enjoy watching your concerts/shows and listen to your beautiful/inspiring songs.

God bless always to your band and your family.

Again, "maraming, maraming salamat MYF & incubus!"

Smiling
