Benefit Concert- One is Greater Than None March 20, 2009

On Friday, March 20 from 7pm-11pm, some of today’s hottest musicians including Push Play, Saving Jane, Tamarama (featuring Jay Lyon from MTV’s “The City”), Graham Colton and WOW, will perform in the One Is Greater Than None Benefit Concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom at Manhattan Center Studios. The concert, organized by three teen girls from Hewlett High School – Nicole Borden, Jamie Klaben and Nicole Zion -- was inspired by the Long Island not-for-profit organization One Is Greater Than None – a group of eight teen girls who raise money to sponsor rescue missions to save children in Ghana, Africa. The event will be hosted by one of today’s up-and-coming talents, Chris Koon and audience members can expect surprise appearances from additional TV celebrities.

In addition to an evening of incredible music, the founders of One Is Greater Than None will join the musicians on stage to present a $68,800 check to a representative of the International Organization for Migration to pay for the rescue and rehabilitation of 16 children in March.

“It is really exciting that we have the opportunity to put on a benefit concert for One Is Greater Than None and combine our love of music with helping a great cause”, says Nicole Borden. “We hope this will inspire other people our age to get involved with a charity that is special to them. I really feel like I am a part of something amazing.”
