McCartney, Dion, Lavigne
Donate To Minefield Charity
To Raise Funds >>
|
Paul McCartney, Celine Dion,
Maroon 5 and other music
acts have donated concert
tickets and special
experiences in an online
auction for Music Clearing
Minefields, an initiative of
the United Nations
Association's
Adopt-A-Minefield Campaign.
"Heather and I have worked
hard to raise funds and
awareness for
Adopt-A-Minefield,"
McCartney said in a
statement Tuesday. "We hope
that through Music Clearing
Minefields, others will
become as impassioned about
this cause as we are."
McCartney has donated VIP
tickets to his sold-out fall
tour to the online auction
on the Charity Folks
website. Coldplay, Meat
Loaf, Avril Lavigne, Elvis
Costello, Brian Wilson, Jack
Johnson, B.B. King and
others also have donated
concert tickets and
"meet-greets."
Last year, Adopt-A-Minefield
auctioned off items such as
tickets to the Kingdom of
Heaven film premiere, passes
to a Valentino fashion show
in Paris and drum skins
signed by Aerosmith and
Ringo Starr.
Adopt-A-Minefield encourages
individuals, community
groups and businesses to
resolve the global land mine
crisis.
"I have always believed that
music makes the world a
better place, but not until
recently did I fully
understand the scope of this
statement," McCartney said.
"Music Clearing Minefields
demonstrates the way music
can make the world a safer
place."
