Ben&Ben
is set to hold a massive fundraising online showcase entitled, “Puhon: A
Ben&Ben FB Live Event for the COVID-19 Efforts.”
The
nine-piece collective will be performing some of their biggest hits for a
one-hour live stream show while staying in their respective homes.
The
Facebook Live Jam will happen on March 27, 2020 (Friday) at 7:00 PM. It will
serve as a launch pad for the band’s community-initiative website, www.puhon.ph, which aims to inspire, uplift and
boost the collective morale of all the key stakeholders of the COVID-19
response through uplifting stories, music, art, and more.
The
platform will also provide an opportunity for people to contribute to the
ongoing efforts in helping the frontliners and urban poor community affected by
the coronavirus pandemic.
“As
artists, we believe that in a crisis like this we are called to do what we can
to help—may it be by sending messages of hope, making efforts in raising funds
for this crisis, or others,” shares the band in a statement.
All
proceeds from this project are to raise funds for COVID19 test kits, Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and nutrition support for frontline healthcare
workers, and relief goods for daily wage earners.
The
upcoming online concert is in partnership with YSEALI, Limitless Lab, and the
Asian Institute of Management - Team Energy Center For Bridging Leadership.
