I get a weekly email from a company called Wolfgang's Vault, which sells vintage art from the Bill Graham collection of advertising posters used to promote concerts at the Fillmore, Winterland, and other venues. Additionally, it offers streaming audio of live concerts from that era.
Wednesday, in their blog, they said this:
We in the Wolfgang’s Vault family are heartsick over the devastation in Haiti following yesterday’s earthquake. An immediate effort to help is required.With that in mind, we’d like to share our decision that, effective immediately, 25% of all sales on Wolfgang’s Vault over this next week will be donated directly and immediately to the Red Cross for Haitian Relief. We will reconcile accounts daily beginning tomorrow and send the day’s donation on behalf of ourselves and our customers, immediately.
Additionally, we know many people are suffering their own financial hardships at this time, and the purchase of an item this week that automatically provides the 25% in proceeds to the cause may not be feasible. And since we greatly value and appreciate every one of our members and friends, we have also decided to make a donation on behalf of every site visitors for this week.
In addition to any other donation you might have made, checking out the offerings available from these guys earns a little cash for the relief effort. You might find something you'd like to listen to, too.
