Orlando, FL (Top40 Charts / Hard Rock International) Linkin Park and Hard Rock International today announced the launch of the limited-edition
Linkin Park Signature Series: Edition 31 T-shirts, benefiting
Music for Relief and its Power the World initiative. The exclusive line, a partnership between the Grammy-Award winning band and world-renowned entertainment and lifestyle brand, includes a men's and women's T-shirt featuring artwork by band member
Mike Shinoda . These special-edition products will be available for a limited time only in stores and online beginning in August 2013 .
"The most exciting part of our partnership with Hard Rock is that it helps people," says
Mike Shinoda . "There are people in the world who cook dinner over fires and people who have to perform emergency surgery at night via candlelight. The proceeds of this shirt will buy clean-energy cook stoves for families who only have access to dirty cooking materials which are bad for the environment and bad for their health. It will buy 'solar suitcases' to power things like hospital lights and medical devices in remote areas of the world without energy access. By dedicating funds to
Music for Relief, this Hard Rock t-shirt project promotes sustainable energy awareness and helps people who need it."
A portion of the retail price from sales of Hard Rock's
Linkin Park Signature Series: Edition 31 T-shirt will benefit
Music for Relief , a non-profit organization founded by Linkin Park, and its Power the World campaign. Worldwide more than one billion people have no access to electricity; compromising health, education, safety and livelihoods.
Linkin Park and
Music for Relief launched Power the World to raise awareness about what it means to live without energy access and to highlight innovative clean energy solutions. Visit www.powertheworld.org for additional details.
