Please Get Involved & Help Now!

The annual Southern Amp concert, in association with Oxfam NZ, has refocused all efforts this year as Official South Island Benefit Concert for the Samoa Tsunami Appeal and we need your help to assist us in raising maximum awareness and much required aid! Last week’s images on TV shocked us all with so many people affected by the devastating events in Samoa but we CAN do something about it by pulling together quickly.

Music is the global call to action, Music brings people together and makes the loudest noise in the quickest possible time to rally support for major causes. Southern Amp already has the vehicle to do this so will donate proceeds from each ticket sold to the Southern Amp 09 concert scheduled for 12th November in Christchurch as well as a profit contribution over and above direct operating costs via Oxfam NZ directly to the Samoa Tsunami Benefit. This is a mass communication for a very massive appeal and to make the biggest possible relief contribution, we need as much support and assistance as we can get over the next 5 weeks to ensure we can raise a significant contribution to the Samoa Tsunami Appeal. We are inviting ANYONE who can possibly assist from all parts of commercial industry in NZ, in any capacity at all, by supporting Southern Amp in any way you can to help us in raising as much awareness as humanly possible for this Appeal and making this concert a major fundraising success. Please see media release attached. Visit www.southernamp.co.nz for all event details.
