Music for Relief Designs Bracelet to Benefit Hurricane Sandy Victims

LINKIN PARK, with their non-profit organization Music For Relief, has designed a one of a kind bracelet to benefit the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

The bracelet features a black adjustable band with two interlocking circles engraved with “Music For Relief.” 100% of all proceeds from the bracelet will support Music For Relief’s Sandy recovery effort in the U.S. and in Haiti with partner, International Medical Corps.

International Medical Corps is currently implementing long-term programs including cholera treatment, primary health care, water and sanitation, and disaster preparedness following Hurricane Sandy in Haiti.

Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park recently traveled to Haiti with Music For Relief and visited International Medical Corps personnel to get a better understanding of their cholera treatment and prevention work: http://vimeo.com/60975356
