A very limited number of VIP packages will also be available for $100.00, which includes a chance to meet some of the artists.

"So many times the Red Cross has been of invaluable assistance, helping those in desperate need as tragedies occur. It adds another level to what we are able to do as entertainers when we are able to participate in an event whose purpose is to raise money for such an outstanding organization," said singer Mike Love of the Beach Boys.

"With so many people displaced, it's very easy to help, and Infinity Broadcasting believes the American Red Cross is the best place to put the money where it will do the most good," said Jack Silver, Program Director of KLSX-FM and Operation Manager of K-EARTH 101. "We plan to be presenting a big check at the end of the evening."

"We are truly grateful that we are able to help the people impacted by this terrible disaster," said entertainer Frankie Valli.

"The Red Cross is responding to the largest domestic disaster in our 125 year history. We are providing assistance to over 100,000 families. This is an enormous job. We are very grateful to Infinity Broadcasting radio stations, K-EARTH 101 FM and KLSX 97.1 FM talk and all these artists for contributing their time and talent to help those that need it the most," stated Roger Dickson CEO American Red Cross LA Chapter.

To date, the organization has provided overnight housing for over 207,000 hurricane survivors and has opened 900 shelters. The American Red Cross has been serving an average of 400,000 hot meals a day for two weeks and to date have served nearly 10 million meals. Over 100,000 families and individuals have received Red Cross financial assistance to help with their urgent needs for food, clothing, emergency medicals items and shelter.
