On Tuesday evening, all the members of Simple Plan who reside in Montreal – Jeff, Sebastien and David – took part in the launch of the charity program Kiehl’s Rocks For Kids at the Kiehl’s store in Montreal, Canada. This program includes the following four initiatives:
– limited edition of the Ultra Facial Cream: this product will be available in all the Kiehl’s stores in Canada with 100% net profit going to the Simple Plan Foundation.
– for every transaction made at Kiehl’s between September 12th and 14th 2014, Kiehl’s will donate $1 to the Simple Plan Foundation.
– acoustic performance of Simple Plan: the band will perform a special acoustic concert in Toronto, Canada on September 19th. The tickets will be given away for free at Toronto Kiehl’s stores starting September 13th and also through a contest on Breakfast Television.
– live-stream of the concert: the show will be streamed online for all the fans, who donate $1 per view for the Simple Plan Foundation.
The company’s goal is to raise $40 000 for the Simple Plan Foundation through these initiatives.
During the evening at the Kiehl’s store, the members of Simple Plan gave out a couple of interviews to the media (which should be available soon – stay tuned!) and after that sat down with a laptop to answer the fans’ questions that have been sent in in advance using special hashtags on Twitter. You can check out all the fan questions and answers at @kiehlscanada. One answer that stood out was the band’s indirect confirmation of the rumor that there is indeed something coming up between Simple Plan and the Australian band 5 Seconds Of Summer in the future.

The boys also helped the local Kiehl’s team with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge – which you can see on a video here. And finally: in the gallery you can now check out the first pictures of David, Jeff and Sebastien from last night’s appearance at the Kiehl’s store:
