ArtistPR Supports Hurricane Sandy Relief
As the East coast continues to recover from the devastating
effects of Hurricane Sandy, relief groups around the country are banding
together to raise funds and provide assistance for those impacted by one of the
worst storms in recent memory. Joining in the movement is Hollywood’s
ArtistPR.com, an international music promotion company led by President and CEO
John Mahoney.
Coinciding with the blockbuster 12-12-12 concert in New York
City at the world famous Madison Square Garden, ArtistPR.com contributed to the
campaign which supports the Robin Hood Relief Fund. Featuring Bon Jovi, Eric
Clapton, Dave Grohl, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Chris Martin, The Rolling Stones,
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Eddie Vedder, Roger Waters, Kanye
West, The Who, Paul McCartney and more, the event donated every cent to
non-profit organizations supporting thousands of people throughout the
tri-state area.
With employees, customers and friends from the New Jersey
and New York area, Mahoney and company were compelled to become involved with
the effort to support victims of the storm. He was also a recent visitor to
Asbury Park, NJ for a Bon Jovi performance during the annual Bamboozle
festival, which was walloped by Sandy in October. Mahoney and VP Zachary Nevel
also donated time and funds to Red Bank, NJ’s Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen during
their visit, which is located in Monmouth County right outside of Asbury.
“Now is a great time to band together and show the world
what the music scene is capable of, as in the past when musicians had their
voice heard loud with views on the Vietnam war, to helping feed the world with
Live Aid, our business is truly one that can change the world. Now in our time,
our friends and family on the East coast need our help now more than ever,”
said Mahoney.
While the 12-12-12 event has raised a significant amount for
Sandy relief, ArtistPR.com will be encouraging their 100,000+ members to join
in the action by making a donation. To Donate go to www.121212concert.org.
