Bid On The The QN5 Charity Auctions To Provide Relief To Haiti. | [BID NOW]
The people of Haiti need our help.
For those that don’t know Haiti was hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake yesterday. It essentially destroyed Port-Au-Prince and CNN has reported that nearly 100,000 people have died. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and these people literally have nothing to work with - so this is just about the worst place something like this could happen.
QN5 Music is doing what it can to help by auctioning off super-rare autographed collector’s items this week. These are out of print pressings and memorabilia you won’t find anywhere else. Remember, it’s not about what these are worth, but about what we can raise to help those in need. So, let’s bring in as much as we can.
To further sweeten the deal, we’ve been advised by longtime blue schooler, PretendGirl, that her company, Salesforce.com Foundation is MATCHING DONATIONS up to 100k through the American Red Cross. Meaning, you give $20…they give $20 to match you. The more you give, they more they give. So, 100% of the proceeds of these auctions will be sent through them to the American Red Cross to DOUBLE THE AMOUNT we bring in on each item. It’s a win-win.
The Next Auction - “Freestyle Marathon” 12” Vinyl Single
We’re continuing our QN5 Charity Auction with our second auction - an autographed out-of-print pressing of PacKFM’s first 12” vinyl single release, “Freestyle Marathon” b/w “Relay Remix (ft. Wordsworth & Rise)” and “BackPack”. Produced by Celph Titled on the now-defunct Bronx Science Recordings and released in the Fall of 2001.
Props to blue schooler, Blazer Nation, who put it down on our last auction item, by donating $130 to the cause, (which gets doubled to $260). 100% of the proceeds from the auction go directly to the American Red Cross. We’re looking to top that on this go around, so please open your hearts and wallets for the cause if you haven’t already given to the relief effort.

HELP ANY WAY YOU CAN
We know life goes on in your own world, and it doesn’t affect you directly, but best believe if you were in the same situation, you’d hope that someone would bother to help or care. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those of you with friends and family in Haiti.
