1>0 Benefit Concert A Huge Success!!!

The 1>0 girls want to thank everyone who attended the Benefit Concert, on March 20th, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan. You all became Part of the Equation and helped to make the evening a huge success!

The evening was filled with music, lots of love and some very special guests. A check for $68,800 was presented to Niurka Pineiro, from the IOM, and a huge supporter of the girls. The audience watched a DVD sent from Ghana. It was a message from the boys of Ghana thanking the girls for their efforts in rescuing them. It was so heartwarming to see these children happy and wearing what else? The One Is Greater Than None tee shirts the girls sent them, of course!

The girls were also thrilled to have Pam Cope join them. She had flown in from Ghana and made a stop in New York before returning to her home in Texas. Pam wanted to be with the girls on their very special night. The night would not have been complete without her.

The girls want to thank the bands who participated - Push Play, Tamarama, Graham Colton, Saving Jane and WOW! Look for these bands to make it big in the music industry! They were AWESOME! A thank you goes out to Chris Koon and Tiffany Giardina for doing an amazing job as the hosts of the evening. Tiffany also sang with Push Play and is another up and coming artist!

Most of all, the girls would, once again, like to thank Nicole Borden - the Chairperson - of the Benefit Concert and Jamie Klaben, Nicole Zion and everyone on their committee for making the whole night possible. The amount of time and work that went into planning and organizing this event is indescribable. Words can never express how fortunate the girls feel to have had this experience. Thank you.
