Avicii Menyumbang 1 Juta Dollar

[Gober]

Rising Star dari Swedia, Avicii, ternyata tidak hanya piawai membuat anthem trance dan memutar lagu di depan ribuan crowd. Akhir akhir ini manajemennya mengumumkan sebuah aksi yang akan membuat kita makin kagum dengan pemegang predikat DJ no 6 dunia ini. Mereka akan membuat event charity yang berjudul House for Hunger yang rencananya akan digelar mulai 5 Januari di Detroit, Amerika Serikat.

Yang hebat dari event charity ini adalah bahwa Avicii akan menyumbangkan seluruh DJ Fee tour ini yang rencananya akan digelar di 27 lokasi di Amerika. Manajemen Avicii berkomitmen untuk menyumbang 1 Juta dollar atau sekitar 9 miliar rupiah untuk disumbangkan ke yayasan yang bernama Feeding America, sebuah badan sosial terbesar di Amerika yang mengurus masalah kelaparan di negara itu. Dengan sumbangan ini, 8 juta makanan akan diterima oleh yang membutuhkan.

Dengan melaksanakan event ini, Avicii dan managementnya ingin membantu meningkatkan awareness terhadap masalah pangan yang melanda dunia dengan harapan generasi muda dapat mengerti dan membantu terentasnya masalah ini.

Manager Avicii, Ash Pournouri mengatakan  "This is the first time in electronic music history that someone is stepping up in such a massive way to engage fans in a movement to give back in their communities." "I felt it was time to turn a corner and tear down the negative stereotypes of drugs and reckless partying often associated with the house/trance/dance music scene as it's a far cry from what the reality of electronic music is today. So Avicii and I are putting our money where our mouth is and taking the first step to give back to the country and the fans that have helped shape our careers," terangnya.
