This year’s 21’s anniversary of the Rainforest Foundation FUND benefit concert is on May 13, 2010, and will feature Elton John, Lady Gaga, Sting, Shirley Bassey and Trudie Styler, according to Planet Green.
Concert tickets are $600, but you can also buy post-gala supper tickets for $2,500. Proceeds will go towards projects that aid indigenous and tribal populations of the world’s rainforests.
Styler and Sting founded Rainforest Foundation International in 1989, which aimed to establish global awareness for the conservation of tropical rainforests. It was replaced by the FUND in 1999, when it started pulling its financial support from benefit concerts.
The concerts have raised more than $30 million for the fund.
These participating celeb musicians are known for their philanthropy. Elton John has his own charity, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and Gaga recently donated the proceeds of her Monster Ball show in New York City to Haiti relief.
