Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry and first lady Kim Henry are encouraging people to attend and support Friday night’s Alison Krauss and Robert Plant concert at the Zoo Amphitheatre. The show is a benefit for Hurricane Ike relief efforts.
The Zoo Amp released this letter from the Henrys about the show:
Dear Fellow Oklahomans:
Hurricane Ike has devastated the lives of thousands in the Greater Houston area. People have lost their homes, businesses and jobs. The situation is dire for many – but there is a way you can help make a real difference.
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, two bona fide music legends, are coming to the Oklahoma City Zoo Amphitheater for a Friday, Sept. 26, benefit concert in which all ticket proceeds will go to the Gulf Coast IKE Relief Fund. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now. We commend Zoo concert promoter Howard Pollack and his team for bringing this exciting opportunity to Oklahoma City.
Oklahomans have always stepped up to the plate during periods of crisis, and we are confident this time will be no different. Scores of our state’s citizens, in fact, already have donated time, resources and money to Ike relief efforts. But the Robert Plant-Alison Krauss concert offers a rare and dynamic opportunity to see two giants of music and do so knowing that you are helping a worthwhile cause. The Greater Houston Community Foundation will administer this fund at no cost, so 100 percent of all donations will go to needy families.
If you cannot attend the concert but would like to make a donation, you can do so by visiting the Greater Houston Community Foundation website at www.ghcf.org and clicking on the link to donate now.
Thousands of our fellow Americans are in desperate need of help. We hope to see you at the show!
Sincerely,
Brad Henry
Governor
Kim Henry
First Lady
