Every year around mid-September, Simple Plan are hosting a special benefit event of their own Simple Plan Foundation in Montreal, Canada. Apart from fundraising, these events also serve as press conferences which announce the foundation’s goals and achievements and the event also has an entertaining purpose.
This year’s benefit event is very special, as the members of Simple Plan will be performing alongside the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra (OSM), conducted by Simona Leclerc (on picture with Simple Plan from their show in Montreal on June 20th 2011).
The event will take place on September 20th in the new OSM hall and Simple Plan will be the first pop artists to perform there. All the raised money will go to the Simple Plan Foundation which will then donate parts to many organisations and charities that it supports. The main goal of the Simple Plan Foundation (founded in 2005) is to help young troubled people or seriously ill people and at the same time encourage them in learning and practising music as a way to find a purpose in their lives.
The tickets to this benefit event are already on sale from $75 to $250.
