Pink to play gig for animal charities
Outspoken rock star Pink is to play a special gig in aid of six animal charities, it was revealed today.
The pop sensation and animal rights campaigner will headline the Party for Animals Worldwide (PAW) concert on August 21 at the Cardiff International Arena.
Organisers say they plan to make the one-day event an annual fixture to raise funds and awareness for animal welfare and conservation projects around the world.
Pink said: “I am very happy giving my time to this very worthwhile cause. I am passionate about animal conservation across the world and through my involvement with PAW I believe we can greatly help raise awareness and funds for animal conservation and welfare charities worldwide.”
The charities set to benefit from the concert are PDSA, Society For The Protection Of Animals Abroad (SPANA), Marine Conservation Society, Born Free Foundation, The Monkey Sanctuary Trust and Animals Asia Foundation.
PDSA national fundraising manager, Simi Epstein, said: “PDSA is delighted to be involved in this fantastic event, and we hope that lots of Pink fans and animal-lovers will get involved and support PAW’s first ever music concert.”
Tickets go on sale tomorrow, June 30. For more information visit www.partyforanimalsworldwide.org
