During the last few month our organization, Banco de Alimentos de Mérida, was able, amonth others, to organize several drives. One of them was very special. We used the donated money to organize a big promotion to raise the awareness of hunger in Mexico. But the question was:
How can we get all different kinds of people to get to know Banco de Alimentos de México and to SUPPORT our good cause??
The answer is MUSIC!
In coorperation with Corona, we organized tickets for a big concert of Capital Cities, Magic and Little Jesus named ELEMENTS. The entrance fee was no money, it was just 10kg/ 22lb of beans or rice. Since both are a important staple foods in Mexico we knew this would help us and the beneficiaries alot!
Alot of people took action and instead of investing their money in the tickets, they bought huge amounts of rice and beans and donated them to us.
