100% OF PROCEEDS are going to the communities on the New York shores during their recovery and rebuild phase from this disaster.
The storm has passed but there are so many people who were suddenly left homeless, many of them sick and elderly. Shorelines destroyed and once thriving, small businesses gone. Rebuilding and clean up is going to be the most difficult part and these people need help!
Let us contribute whatever we can to let them know they’re not alone. Let’s help them get to what resembles a normal life again. A line up of beautiful dancers and big hearts. You don't want to miss this!
For anyone who cannot attend the concert and would like to donate, or CAN attend the concert and would like to help a little more, please direct donations to a local non-profit helping the Rockaway community since 2001: http://www.gofundme.com/1jt2lk
Wes Veldink has inspired the dance and arts community in such a way that we will forever experience his genius. He deeply respects future generations and with recent tragedies occurring in Japan he's teamed up with his friends at CARE-WAVE to make a difference. Utilizing their creative talents by producing an evening benefit that will inform our society of what still needs our attention and raise much needed funds. As a choreographer he goes beyond its raw form of expression and transcends into compassionate vision, yet another reason why his influence will live beyond our generation.
