Some of music’s biggest and brightest stars are stepping up their relief efforts to aid the victims of the Philippines typhoon which ravaged the Southeast Asian country earlier this month.
According to TSR, the newly crowned AMA Icon, Rihanna has pledged $100,000 towards Typhoon Haiyan relief. The hefty donation will go the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) which will aid in rebuilding and recovery.
“Emergencies make headlines, but the recovery continues long after the news cameras leave. Having been a fan and supporter of UNICEF’s work over the years, I am honored to join them in helping children who have been impacted by Typhoon Haiyan,” states Rihanna in a statement.
Other singers who are lending their talents in effort relief are Beyoncé, Bruno Mars and Alicia Keys. Each has contributed one of their songs to a compilation album titled, “Songs for the Philippines.”
TSR is reporting that the project is available now on iTunes for $9.99 and all the proceeds will be donated to the Philippines Red Cross.
