Madonna To Organize Charity Concert In Malawi This Fall
Posted on Tue Jul 27, 2010 10:35 AM PDT
Madonna is reportedly planning a huge charity concert in Malawi this September, according to the Daily Mirror. The fundraiser will be shown on TV around the world, and Madonna is already trying to get pals such as U2 singer Bono to perform at the Walk Out of Poverty show.
A source at her Raising Malawi Foundation told a reporter at the Mirror, "Plans are in place to make this the biggest fund-raiser the world has ever seen. Madonna is throwing everything into it. She knows the bigger the event the more money will be raised."
Over 60,000 fans will get free tickets for the concert at a stadium in Blantyre, Malawi, but TV rights and merchandising will bring in millions of dollars, which will presumably go to Madonna's Raising Malawi charity.
Think this will be the biggest charity event ever? Or is Lady M setting her sights too high?
