Pink Donates To Aussie Bushfire Appeal

February 18th, 2009

Pink has donated $250,000 to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire Appeal, to assist the families of victims and the more than 700 people that have lost their homes in the disaster.

The singer, whose Australian tour has broken box office records, posted the following message on her official website:

“I’ve been really affected by the media images of the tragic bush-fires in Victoria.

My heart goes out to all those who have suffered so much in these circumstances.

There’s little anyone can do at such a long distance away but I wanted to make a tangible expression of support.

I will be donating $250,000 to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal, and hope that this, amongst all the other outpouring of charitable support, will help the rebuilding of lives and communities in the areas affected.

I’m looking forward to returning to a country I love so much.

Pink”

To date, the appeal has raised over $100 million dollars to support those affected by the fires.
