The event was created to generate awareness and raise funds for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Sudan. A portion of the proceeds from each concert will be donated to Oxfam America and the Save Darfur Coalition.

Last year’s Rock for Darfur concerts raised $50,000 for relief efforts, including basic supplies like clean water, shelter, blankets, soap and disease prevention programs.

More information on what is being done to help the people of Darfur is available at www.oxfamamerica.org and www.savedarfur.org.
