On February 6th a devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck the border region between Turkey and Syria, followed nine hours later by a horrific 7.5-magnitude aftershock.
This was the most powerful earthquake the region has seen in almost a century. The horrifying death toll has soared past 20,000, with freezing temperatures and snow falling.
Relief organizations are working diligently to support the rapidly changing needs on the ground as the devastation continues to unfold. Rescue teams are working in the hardest-hit areas where survivors remain trapped under rubble.
LET'S DO OUR PART TO HELP!
100% of funds raised from ticket/raffle sales and donations for this evening of live performances will go these accredited on-the-ground relief efforts in Türkiye & Syria:
- The Karam Foundation (in conjunction with the White Helmets)
- The Foundation of Anatolian People and Peace Platform (AHBAP)
