As you all know, things are really rough in Haiti right now, so animator Howie Shia and his brothers decided to use their company to do something to help aid those suffering from the earthquake. They have set up PPF Neighborhood: over 2 dozen like-minded friends in the independent arts community (both in Toronto and abroad) banding together to create a downloadable benefit compilation of music, visual art and photographs.
The project is a third party fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders and all proceeds will go to the victims of the earthquake. What we hope is that, even if you’ve given already, you’ll feel compelled to donate $5 (or more) to help us make a difference in a tragic situation. In return you will receive 14 tracks of original music and 13 works of visual art and photography, packaged neatly in a pdf booklet.
Just go to PPF Neighborhood where you can purchase the album through paypal or any major credit card.
Featuring a who’s who of award winning artists, the project brings together Juno Award Winners (and losers), Art Professors, Underground Hip Hoppers, Latin Jazzers, Pop and Electronica Darlings, as well as Vanguards of Illustration, Animation and Photography. It’s an eclectic mix of “creative” types who are trying to use what they do best to offer a helping hand.
Also, the PPF House Neighborhood will only be available until Feb. 11, 2010, the final day before the Canadian Government closes its pledge to match all private donations. So please, if you've got some time and spare change, check out what we've put together and if you like it, tell your friends, family and colleagues.
More information on the project and its contributors can be found here.
