official Covenant Forum

Sometimes I'm an impatient guy and though I'm not sure if it's appropriate right now I somehow have an urge to spill the beans about the idea I hinted at in the thread on Mika...

I actually thought about organizing some kind of fund-raiser/charity event!

Well, some here may know that I'm not exactly Mr. Rich at the moment and as much I'm willing to donate the little money I have, I just thought that my long-lasting experiences as being a DJ and organizing and promoting events could be useful to do something that has a greater impact than the few bucks I will donate...

Seren has said that there's no need up to now to give Mika or her financial support. The situation may change, though. And if it doesn't change, we could nevertheless put this idea into effect as we could donate the revenues from such a charity event to an organistion like Der Weisse Ring, a beneficient non-commercial organisation here in Germany which helps and supports in a financial, consultant, or juridical way people who became victims of crime. I'm sure there are similar organisations in any other country.

So, here's my idea, it's still very basic. If we join forces we could make the idea come true, and a success!
I know that quite a number of people here at the forum are also very active in other forums and mailing lists. Many people here have their own homepages or Myspace sites. Some of us are even part of the music biz or work for the media, and we have people who make their own music or are DJs, like me. So it would be easy for us, as a community, to organize and promote such an event! We have the manpower and the skills needed gathered here at the forum.

Such an event could have various forms. It could be just a party, it could be concert with a couple of bands. It could be a combination of both. And we could do this more than once and more than in just one city. Let's just see what's possible if we band together...

I started a new topic for this idea to discuss all that, and to keep the thread on Mika purely for her and her horrible situation...
I also started the thread in the 'Gossip' section of the forum because this section is not visible for non-registered members. It should probably stay here as long as it is just a rough idea, and may be moved later on to a more appropriate section when things become more concrete...

Comments and further ideas are welcome!

Very good idea, Niki!

I suggest though that we should put all ideas on a hold until we can be more sure about Mika's progress. That is, until she (hopefully) regains consciousness.

So far all costs are covered by Mika's health insurance and the Consulate. We have to wait and see if this situation changes. If all further costs, for example for rehab, will be covered too, then great! We could then do a charity thing to raise money for organisations like Der Weisse Ring.
